![]() It’s clear than being external, the engine is potentially exposed to accidental falls. This configuration with and external engine has many advantages and disadvantages, obviously.įirst thing, as we have underlined before, the space occupied in tank is very minimal, and as the Ecotech Marine says it’s now possibile to dedicate to watch the corals without the bulk of the pumps in aquarium. Compared to the previous pump the efficiency is basically the same, while the economic efficiency has improved with more watt per euro. Technically speaking, we have 19.000 l/h of flow rate and a consumption of 39 watt, that is an efficency of 487 liters per watt, and considering the cost of 419 euro, the economic efficiency is 45,3 liters per euro. In our case, given the fact that we had a glass thickness of 15 mm, we used the smaller pin spacer. Wet side on the left and Dry side on the right In this way you create a distance of 16-19 mm that’s the perfect one for the best functioning of the pump. The pin spacer has to be applied to the Dry Side. Obviously they have to be coupled, only the glass and the pin spacer in between. One part stays outside the glass, the Dry Side, and the other is in the water, the Wet Side. The VorTech are very particular pumps because they’re not like the classic spin or impeller models, buy they work by magnetic drive. ![]() We hope you’ll enjoy it, then we’ll see you here to continue the article. The video is in Italian, but there’s the possibility to insert the subtitles. ![]() In this case, we’ll show you the process of set up and cofiguration, also including the methods of use. Our presentation video and review of the pumpĪs you already know it’s a few months that we also like to do a video-review, less complete than the article, but more suitable for certain contents. Technical characteristics of the VorTech MP40QD Flow rate ![]() In 2015 Ecotech Marine resolved the problem with the QD version, that was Quiet Drive, which meant their change of direction.īut the differences between the old and the new Vortech don’t involve only the noise problem, because even the flow rate has increased. That was a sound pressure 4 times higher then declared. In the review we already underlined this flaw and we measured 7dB of difference between minimum and maximum. Then, when we used it for a while it showed its main problem, the noise. It was 2011, and our review at time where very enthusiastic ( here the review). When Ecotech Marine presented the last MP40w the aquaristic world was stunned. When it comes to broad yet gentle flow, the VorTech design is unmatched:Īt the heart of the VorTech's success is its unique, patented, magnetically coupled design.This article is also available in: italiano VorTech pumps are designed by aquarists to be the gold standard for providing flow in marine aquariums. With VorTech QuietDrive choosing the correct water circulation equipment has never been easier. In an aquarium, having the right amount of flow is crucial to the health of the ecosystem. QuietDrive represents the next evolution of the award winning VorTech Driver.Īll new driver included with the VorTech MP10, MP40 and MP60Ħ+ Available continuous operational modesĬommunicates with existing WWD and "w" EcoSmart Pumpsįully compatible with EcoSmart Live via ReefLinkĪvailable as an upgrade for WWD and EcoSmart Drivers Tank Size Range: 50-500+ gal (190 - 1,800 liters)Ĭlearance Needed Behind Tank: 3 inches (76 mm) Ecotech Marine Vortech MP40m QD Pump, Mobius Readyĭry-Side: 3.00 x 2.25 inches (76.0 x 57.0 mm)
