No, I've got one, some of the settings make them as loud as a vortech. But as a budget alternative, absolutely go with these over a korallia.

I've had no issues with my as you say butt ugly koralias, lol. I have 2 3s in my 60 cube and I like the flow they give. Dont get me wrong I want tunzes but damn they expensive. I would 100 percent buy tunze over the vortechs. Same features and more compared to the vortechs.

Haha move along then, lol. I guess there are bad experiences with all products. I just see very few about the tunze products.

I have 3 mp10s, I have replaced the wet side 3 times, dry side once and I have hums in the motors on all three. Some are louder than others. They are expensive pieces to replace, but to me they are worth my money. They create such gentle flow yet large amounts of conical flow. I like how there isn't any wires in the tank, with my tank I can hide the dry sides in the back chamber, I still think the dry sides are plain ugly. Tunzes are nice too, but I only had experience with the 6015 series, I don't like the bulkiness and never ran them for long before I took them out of the tank.

I have owned Koralia's and now own an ecotech. The Ecotech's are well worth the money and the hum is no worse if not less than my previous koralia's.

I love and hate the Vortechs. They are awesome with the controlability you have with them when you are using more than one. They're sleek looking and quite small. But i've had issues with a few of them and had to have them replaced on warrranty and yes they are loud. If I could use them in my new setup I would. I had to trade all 4 of them them for Tunzes. I was running 2 MP40s and a MP10 in my display. They've been replaced with 2 6105's. I have'nt played with the control option yet but it looks like just those 2 were pushing alot more water than the Vortechs did. There is also a sound coming from the motor in one of them when it ramps down. Is this normal?
