My Vortech MP10w is flashing red/green...

If it is your dry side, red/green according to their site means stalled motor or impeller. If you determine that it is the dry side. You can get a replacement for around 140 bucks or if you don't mind a slightly larger power head tunze makes very reliable ones as well. Jaebos put out a lot of flow for the money, like Mr.Hasan said best bang for your buck.

I have a Tunze nano on the right side of my tank. I used the Vortech to modify flow since it has all the presettings for different modes. I like the size of the MP10. Is there anything of similar size or is Vortech all there is of that size? I've sent ecotech an email about it. The pump is about 1.5 years old....bought it used off another reefer. I'm not optimistic with the options they're going to present to me though so I'm preparing for the worse.

I haven't come across anything smaller than the vortech interms of actual inside tank space. The only thing that comes close is the tunze 6015 turbelle, even that is a giant over the mp10.

Thanks for your suggestions....I'll wait to hear back from Ecotech first before I plan my next move I guess. I might just bite the bullet and go buy the MP10 again. That way I can see if my wet or dry side I currently have is defective. I wonder if J&L will have these on sale during Boxing Day? Have they in the past?

Not typically. Price fixing on Eco Tech products in Canada is enforced and then we're given the excuse that it's for the benefit of the consumer. Salty Supply in the US may still have them at 20% off but with exchange and shipping I'm not sure what the final price will be.

I had the red/green last week on my mp40. I let it flash for awhile, then came back to it about three days later, reset it and she's working again. <shrug>

Could try it again?

Sorry I jinxed you when I mentioned that MP10s & 40s have a bad history of needing expensive replacement parts. My bad. If you want a WP25 let me know. Doing a small group order for Metro Vancouver for some stuff from ReefSupplyCanada.
