Thanks for your info guys. I'm looking forward to getting the powerheads out of my tank. Number one reason I chose to get the vortech over a aquacontroller. I'll get that later. I can always tell my wife that I cut one of my Hydors in half and put the motor on the outside.

Pretty sure once you get that bad boy in your system, you'll be scheming for the second, possibly even third.... The great thing about them is that you can also get an MP10W ES to work with the big guys. Getting all those 120V ac electrical cords from the other powerheads out of the water is another bonus.

Well after having this thing on for a few days now I really like it. I did end up keeping one of my Koralia's in the tank. The 2 together are working great. I will end up getting another one later on. I have been running it on Reef-Crest mode and having the Night mode come on at 9:00. Is the night mode supposed to be on for 14 hours? Becuase mine does not stay on for that long at all.

Have you changed the night mode time to 14 hours in the configuration? The manual says the default time for night mode is only 10 hours, you have to change the configuration if you want it longer.

It does'nt even mention night mode in the manual I got with it. I read how to put it in to night mode on the net somewheres. Whats with these manufactures? Every gadget I seem to buy for my tank has crappy instructions or none at all.

I haven't got my pumps yet, they are in the mail but I downloaded the EcoSmart manual from the Ecotech site before I ordered. The full manual is available in pdf at the following link:http://ecotechmarine.com/ecosmart/

Thanks by the way. That helps explain things a little better.
