Mike I have cleaned thn and the are still loud. I just can't stop the vibration noise no matter what I do.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

I must say to check out the Coralife dc5800's. I hate coralife... but these pumps are silent, dead silent. I've had them for 6months now on a fast on/off cycle, with no problems yet. My koralia 4's are more noisy.

I picked up two MP10s last night. Local availability is the biggest reason I chose to purchase them: my favourite LFS had two of them in stock, but not the Tunzes I was interested in.

So far, I'm very pleased with them. I don't have them hooked up to my controller yet, though. I'm not sure if I want to hook them up via the WXM or the VDM.

Can't use VDM with vortechs. So you will need a VXM module.

I just found that out. Thank you!

Good thing I hadn't ordered anything for them yet.

The pumps each have their pros and cons, it's like comparing tangarines to mandarines. Both are good but some people have a favourite based on their own experiences.

but you cant beat the wavebox.

Nothing gets your polyps moving like it does.
