Designed especially for nano-reef aquariums, the MP10 from EcoTech Marine is a small yet powerful pump. The MP10-ideal for tanks from 2.5 to 50 gallons tanks-creates gentle flows of 500 to 1,575 gallons per hour, helping the tanks feel more like the ocean.

The MP10 shares the same award-winning technology as the MP40w and lets you take full control of the flow. With all the electrical components outside the aquarium and a variety of easy-to-program modes, the VorTech is the safest, most versatile pump on the market.

Maximum Tank Thickness: 3/8??? Worthless.... At least Tunze makes their nano stuff hold on to 3/4".

BreadmanMike, I saw these in person on Saturday at MAX. They had a great wave effect going in a small nano tank, just like the larger models.

OT- Like your avatar. I went to high school with the guy on the far left. :D

For real? Did you hang with him?

[agsansoo]

Yeah ! He replaced me in my friend's garage band in high school. LOL He was a better guitar player than me (still is). Got to hang with the band a few times after concerts. Though it been about 10 years. :( LOL They're all still very cool. Haven't met the new bass player yet. Maybe soon.

Sorry I took this thread OT !

That is so cool that you knew James. I am a huge fan of Metallica and there concerts are top notch. I hope to catch a show this year. I am so glad they now have there own Satellite station, 24 hours of Metallica.

[agsansoo]

Glad to see I'm not the only Metallica fan on RC. :D

Back on topic,

Andy-
I'm sure the pumps work great. My problem is they only stick to 3/8" thick tanks. Why not make them a little more versatile? It would be smart of them to make an option to upgrade the magnet.

[agsansoo]

I agree. Why not have a stronger magnet with a spacer like the 40 amd 20. At $195 each, I think that should have been standard equipment !

I too saw one at Max and at this new price point and the 1600 gph flow, I will get one. I think if you need more than 3/8" thickness, you should probably be using the larger model anyways. I will be replacing my Koralia Magnum 5. This unit is about 1/6 the size and it has more options since it has its own controller. The price point will will make a dent into Koralias business as it is just $60 more than the Magnum 5.
