Ecotech Vortech MP10

[Gomer]

now, if only they had dry-box kits to use with the ever popular nanocube/biocube/aquapod

How about something like this, a little extender piece that fits inside nano-compartments that basically acts like a drive train to physically transfer the torque from the motor to the impeller?

Oh, mark this date in-case EcoTech steals my idea then claims they've been working on this

It's not that hard to build a dry box out of acrylic

4 man... 2 on each side :bigsmile: ..

3/8" max glass size though, which shouldn't be a problem with people with sane nano tanks...

Dear Mike,
You are very smart, I need that.

Sincerely,
Jay

 

[Gomer]

hmm....might need to mode up a design

You need my smarts? Well you can't have them, I'm currently using them

there is a picture in the MAX event thread its the small tank that has the little vortec in it.

The tank at MAX was a custom job and one you wouldn't really keep livestock in (narrow, tall and long).

I saw it a few weeks ago in action, and at MAX, nice pump. It's much lighter then the others and they've made some improvements.

Not bad , might consider 1 or 2 of those for my 37cube. or go with 2 mp20?

Here is a coupon code for 10% off at AquaCave (the coupon code can also be used for other vortech or battery): VORTECH10

Not bad for $175 with free shipping, no tax. Just placed my order, even though it is going to be a waste on my 20L frag tank.

Do they charge you now or when it ships?

Chales, I just bought a MP20 for my 34G solana, run it at full speed and seems still need more... you may need two either MP10 or MP20.

 

[beaupierce]

kinda stupid question,
but do u get 2 powerheads with it or just one? and if just one, how does it produces waves????

 

[Gomer]

just 1. Vortech goes on and off. The rise (push) and fall (gravity) of the resonant swells cause the wave.

 

[650-IS350]

SO mp10 isn't strong enough...?

 

[adolfo425]

Let me know how the vortech mp10 on a 20 long i might get me one for mine.
