The award-winning technology of the MP40w provides wireless
operation on tanks between 50 and 500+ gallons, producing 1,000 to
3,200 gallons per hour of flow and smallest in-tank footprint for
full-size reef aquariums.
The Wireless Wave Driver enables wireless coordination and enhanced
functionality between multiple MP40w units right out of the box, with
no extra equipment to buy—making it the most effective solution on the
market for larger aquariums.
Operational Modes
Feed Mode: Slows down your pump for 10 minutes to allow you to feed your aquarium.
Constant Speed Mode: The pump runs at a constant speed you set based on your aquarium’s specific needs.
Reef Crest Mode: Automatically simulates the high-energy conditions of a natural reef crest environment.
Lagoon Mode: Automatically simulates a calmer, lagoon reef environment.
Short Pulse Mode: Allows for wave pulse timings between 0.3 and two seconds, enabling the creation of FAST alternating flow throughout the tank.
Long Pulse Mode: Allows for wave pulse timings of
between two seconds and 60 seconds, enabling the creation of slow
alternating flow throughout the tank.
Night Mode: Enables the pump to operate for 14
hours in whichever mode is selected for the day and go back to Night
Mode for 10 hours. Master pumps will tell their slaves to go into Night
Mode as well.
Pump Disconnect: Automatically shuts down the system if the wet and dry sides become separated.
Wireless Wave Driver: Enables wireless coordination
between multiple MP40w units right out of the box, with no extra
equipment to buy – making it the most cost-effective solution on the
market.
Sync and Anti-Sync Slave Modes: In a multi-pump
setup, slave pumps will operate in sync or inverse (anti-sync) to the
master pump to create tidal currents within your aquarium.
Flow
The VorTech produces from 1,000 to 3,200 gallons per hour of low
velocity gentle water current. The flow is so impressive and broad,
that it actually creates an undertow along your sand bed. You will
notice an equal amount of flow going out of your pump as you will see
going back into it! Moreover, because the flow pattern is so wide,
there is no reason to direction the flow, simply place the pump on the
back or sides of your aquarium and flow will be created throughout the
whole tank.
Energy Savings
The VorTech is one of the most efficient pumps on the market, and
the new MP40W model is even more so, consuming only 28 watts to produce
3,200 gallons per hour. More importantly, all of the heat put out from
the motor is outside of your aquarium, meaning you won’t have to invest
in costly chillers to keep your tank cool.
Battery Backup Accessory
The VorTech Battery Backup will power one pump for up to 30 hours or
two pumps for 15 hours each. Alternatively, multiple battery backups
can be plugged into each other to provide even more run time during a
power outage. There is no other product that detects an outage and
provides as much insurance for so little money.
Wave Motion
Every MP40w model VorTech pump is wave controllable right out of the
box! With our new Wireless Wave Driver, the VorTech pump can act
autonomously to create waves in your aquarium, or can be synced with
other pumps in the tank to create random and pulsing movements. When
any one pump is entered into feed mode, the pump will signal all other
VorTech pumps to shut down, eliminating the time required for you to
turn off each pump individually. No other pump on the market can even
compare to the intelligence of the VorTech pump. Specifications

Ecotech (is) the cream of the crop... They make a nice product, and they stand behind it... That just cannot be beat!

I’ve
taken two shots to show with or without the Vortech in my tank… The
difference between two pumps (Vortech and Tunze) is incredible. Roll
