this powerhead is freaking amazing man, all the flows built into it and feed mode, wave maker cant wait to get the other one this week.

sweet :) You will $hit bricks when you get the second one and get it set up as a slave :twised:

Nice and clean wthout any wires in the tank too eh?

greg can i call you pm me your number

sure thing, ill shoot you a pm

Those look funny, like part is missing. :lol:...Think I will get a pair of 20,s for my 30g. Coming over to looky see Mike. :D

i know Doug they look empty like some thing is missing

NICE, just cant get over the price :(

Very clean, how do you find it compared to the Tunze? May need a couple of them myself:smile:

I look at it this way the price doesn't fizz me. money is money i make it i spend it.:lol:

MR fish55 yes its very clean and compact too and the tunzes after seeing it its very bulky and take alot of space up.

you should get 4 of them ..lol

Just my opinion but I would go with the 40's if you are getting two, the 20's don't allow for wireless master/slave communication between the two.

It's not too bad if you think about how much money you can spend buying and scrapping lesser powerheads.

Do it!!!! :twised: :mrgreen:

Greg I thought that i read that it can be upgraded from a 20 to a 40 W

You can, eccotech sells un apgrade kit but they charge $150USD (~$190) per unit for the upgrade.

The cost differential between the MP20 and Mp40 new is about $140CDN so in the long run if you plan on upgrading they have you by the short and curlies. Just cheaper to buy the MP40 upfront IMO.

Wholley Greg. I only have a 30g cube. :lol:

The fish like it to Mike ?

got the other MP40W on the tank and holy rat frig batman I love them I love them I love them , Oh ya I love them, tunzes are for babies.. you heard me right,, now if I can jsut sort out my skimmer problem.......

So, do the pumps work well????:wink:

Good to know, I am debating switching out some of my k4's for tunzes, but now I'm gonna have to look at the MP40s

So what do you think about the Vortechs? :noidea:

the vortechs are simply amazing everyone. I have neverseen so much flow and the wave was like 3 " in my tank i have to stop ot due i out it over the edge. ya they are
$500 but worth every penny i found my new toy and they dont take up any room neither. not like the tunze's or the wave box. the instructions are easy to read and assembly was a piece of cake.....

im happy :mrgreen:

Hey Mike. I'd love to see the Vortechs working. What's the chance of a short video to see these babies in action?

well i say waaah to that :baby: can't wait till I get my tunzes, they arrive on the 17th and they didn't put me in the poorhouse :wink:

Christy there is nothing wrong with crackers and water
lance i will boot up a video just for you with the wave going

Crackers and water? Puhleeze, thats for hagen powerheads.

Tunzes are still pretty primo and certainly were until you jumped on the vortech bandwagon! Heck 5 minutes ago you didn't even know what a vortech was :razz: :wink:

lol have you been told today:smile:

i guess i have a lot of post padding to do and what is it today pick on mike day, you brad, i had enough im going postal and then selling my vortechs :lol:

lol, no I just have better things to spend my money on. I'm sure they're the shizzle but I'll just sit back until you sell them cheap to get money for your new skimmer :wink:

:rofl:

The shizzle eh? *rolls eyes*

Do you only have the one 40, Mike? I'm thinking of getting the 20 for my 50 gallon...

I do believe he is getting another one in the near future.

I'm so up in the air over this stupid powerhead! One minute, I'm all for it. I see the results people are having etc and I think "how could I go wrong?! That'd be perfect for the rimless tank" Then I read how they can be a little noisey and I don't want that in my bedroom....grrrrr

I guess it depends on how sensitive you are to sound. Does white noise lull you to sleep? :wink:

Noise is realitive to how you set it up, you need to adjust for glass thickness and play with the alignment of the magnets, I am considering getting rid of my tunze wavebox (I find it to be louder than the Vortech)and going with the Vortech's.

*shrugs* Usually the TV is on, so I don't imagine it should be a problem. Worse comes to Worse I can stick the vortech on the 90 gallon for some extra flow (even though I'm already at 40x rotation)...

Sigh....off to drop another 400 into this tiny little 50 gallon tank....

Well since you seem kind of down about it, here's what I will do...send it to me and I will test it out, let you know if its worth it and how the noise is (I sleep across from my tank) and then if its all good, you can buy yourself another one! And by "it" I mean two MP40's.

uuuuuuuuuuuum how 'bout no. YOU send ME your tank...and I'll send you mine.

Well...You gotta pay shipping. And I would have to find a box big enough to fit my tank and stand in.

Sorry Mike...waaaaaaay off topic ;)

Oh, I guess Mikes not going to be around for a little bit.

Well its time for a few pic i took the paint of the right side of the tank, actually i had a small piece peeled off to watch the fish ,but ended u-p taking the rest of the paint off to see and I really like the look of the side look.
