I've been collecting vortechs, not so much on purpose, but because they're so expensive and I love them so much I'm rationalizing holding on to them a way a hoarder would. I'm *sure* I can find a use for those two mp10s that are too small for anything I have now.

I'm going to try the coralife wave system. I know it's cheap and coralife but the reviews have been decent and the mp40s hum a little too much for my liking.(my tank is in my main living area)

Just buy the tunze kalk stirrer that goes with their ATO. & you know that kalk only dissolves to a certain saturation point anyway, right?

I just realized that they won't work on anything I own since all the glass on my tank and sump is 5/8 thick, so you might be on. I was hoping to use them to add extra flow to my water change and frag chambers, but the dry side just falls right off

I've got one of the original MP40's. It's a good pump, lined up as perfectly as possible, but since day 1 it's been noisy. Flows a ton of water, random flow is nice, but I just can't get over the noise in my living room. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I've started looking at my replacement options.

I prefer Tunze's myself. Had a first gen MP20 for awhile and I hated it. It was noisy at anything over 60% and it had problems staying coupled through thick glas unless it was perfectly mounted. Also I wasn't really happy with the "wide flow" in my tank. 2 feet away the flow was gone. With my 6095's you still feel it on the other side of my 6' tank! Just get a 7096 controller and you can get 90% of the control ability of the vortech. Plus my tank is totally silent except for a litle splashing from the wavebox waves hitting the eurobrace.
