  Description
The MP20 from EcEcoTech Marine has revolutionized reef aquarium propeller pumps. Ideally suited for aquariums smaller than 70 gallons, the MP20 produces unmatched broad yet gentle flow while placing the motor outside the tank—preserving the beauty of your aquarium and enhancing the health of your tank’s ecosystem.

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. And, if your tank needs to grow, the MP20 can be upgraded to the MP40w providing you wireless communication between your pumps and even more functionality and flow.

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: Simulate the high-energy conditions of a natural reef crest environment.
  • Lagoon Mode: Simulate a calmer, lagoon reef environment.
  • Optional Battery Backup: Keeps the circulation going during power failure for up to 30 hours.

Excellent!
WOW by JOHN MEDINA
Experience Level: Expert
Posted on 8/12/2008 from ROHNERT PARK, CA UNITED STATES
Comments: I love the propeller, I have a 300 gallon tank 8ft long, its hard to move the water from 1 end to the other but not with this pump, 3/4 plexi makes it hard for it to be turned up to the max flow, as the magnets would come apart, but after removing the interior backing it works great, be sure to use the foam cover, I lost a small fish in its powerful suction. easy to use! Make sure to place the controller in a convient location for turning it down at feeding time.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
