MP10 ES Vs Tunze 6055...Decisions Decisions

[abcha0s]

If you are concerned about noise, there is no decision to make. Vortechs are very loud compared to Tunze. Those who say otherwise can't here them because of the other loud pumps they own.

I own both Tunzes and Vortechs. Each has different pros and cons. The biggest benefit to Vortech is it's small in tank foot print. I also like the Vortech pump profiles but you really need more than one to take advantage of the more interesting modes.

I wouldn't recommend running only a single MP10. It helps to have multiple sources of flow.

Consider that with the MP10, you would need some kind of expansion module to control the pump with your controller. Of course you can run it independently, but if you already own a controller, and you buy an MP10, I am certain you will be shopping for the Vortech module in the near future.

Ultimately, both are good pumps. You really can't go wrong - unless noise is a problem for you, in which case the decision is simple.
