Operational Modes

Constant Speed Mode - Pump runs continuously at a constant speed which can be set by the user.

EcoSmart Nutrient Transport Mode (NTM) - A two phase program to promote maximum health and nutrient export, as well as increased growth for corals. Alternates between a resonant standing wave and a surge effect to stir up and export nutrients.

EcoSmart Tidal Swell Mode (TSM) - Creates a harmonic balance in your aquarium reminiscent of the changing flow conditions that would be found in nature. Flow varies from left to right, right to left, calm, and ends with a great surge.

Reef Crest Random Mode - Reef Crest Random Mode simulates the high-energy conditions of a natural reef crest environment.

Lagoonal Random Mode - Simulates the gentler reef zone found in a natural lagoon.

Short Pulse Mode - Allows for wave pulse timings between 0.3 and two seconds, enabling the creation of FAST alternating flow throughout the tank. Use this mode to create a resonant standing wave.

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.

Feed Mode - Slows down pump to allow user to feed aquarium. User can select the duration and speed for Feed Mode.

Night Mode - Automatically reduce speed and operates continuously at that speed for a period of time during the night. User can select the duration and speed for Night Mode.

Battery Backup Mode - When used with our battery backup accessory, the VorTech pump will switch to Battery Backup Mode in the event of a power outage and will operate at a user set speed. The LED’s on your EcoSmart driver will count down to indicate how much power is available within the battery.

Auto-Dim - LED’s are turned off and display knob dimmed significantly, but pump functions in its current mode. User can program how long after use before the driver enters Auto-Dim.

On/Off Switch - Tap the on/off switch to turn off and turn on a pump. Hold this button to turn off all pumps in a master/slave group. Tap any pump in the groups’ on/off switch and that pump will turn back on.


Manufacturer Info

EcoTech Marine has revolutionized the way people think about water movement in reef aquariums. Our technologically superior pumps produce unmatched broad yet gentle flow, while placing the motor outside the tank—preserving the beauty of your aquarium and enhancing the health of your aquarium ecosystem. The EcoTech leadership team consists of aquarium enthusiasts and engineers with a penchant for challenging the status quo. When EcoTech took root in the science labs of Lehigh University and University of Oklahoma, we realized there were serious differences between the native aquatic ecosystems in nature and the terrestrial habitats created in aquariums—and that little was being done to address this gap in the marketplace. Since that day, we have worked tirelessly to improve the “state of the art” to enable our customers to have the healthiest, safest and smartest aquarium possible. That’s why our products offer a wide variety of easy-to-program modes and have been thoroughly tested and endorsed by marine-biologists—making it the most versatile and life-like pump on the market.

Comments: Don't plan on using these in an area where you will be spending a lot of time. If you can use them in a fish room they are probably ok and DO push a lot of water. Too much noise for me though.

Great Wavemaker!

Comments: Pros: Very good service! Small footprint. Great undertow. This wavemaker is really strong. It's very reliable and well built. The noise is not loud in my opinion. I love how easy it is to use and setup. I had a 2" wave in my 220 (72X24X30) in about 5 minutes no joke. Now for the cons: Very pricey! Propellor damaged very easy upon setting it up in tank. To Ecotech's defense I called them and they replaced the entire wet side for free. It put tiny circle scratches on my accrylic tank due to the entire wet side slightly spinning. Make sure it is seated on the glass really well before starting it. Besides that I wouldn't buy anything else.

Overated

Comments: I bought 3 of these and I must say they were very disappointing to say the least. They are definitely strong but also a little noisy for my taste. I dropped one (like I do with a lot of equipment) but you can't do that with these. Once the wheel is slightly out of balance, the noise was unbearable. So dropping it or not, expect some noise.

Comments: This is a great product. The flow in my 160g Bowfront reef is like the ocean now. I love the modes this thing offers. It does a wonderful job of keeping detritus and other debris in suspension and making it's way to the sump.I recommend this product to anyone.

Comments: Love it, using it in combination with two mp 40's in a 265 gallon tank and it's an amazing wave maker. It's very expensive but it's worth the price

Worth The Money

Comments: Without Doubt, this is an expensive way to go for water flow. However, this unit is exceptional in quality and performance. "You get what you pay for" applies to Vortech. I have this unit on my 400 gallon system and I am very pleased. I will buy another one for the opposite side of the tank in the near future.

Comments: After reading the reviews and finding other information on line related to the MP40 series pump but no real reviews on the MP60 I took a chance that the quality and functionality of the MP60 would meet or exceed the MP40 and I was not dissapointed. I am glad I went to the larger unit on my 186gal reef everything has responded very well to the increased water movement, and all the fish take turns swimming against the push pull flow of the unit.I am now debating on my next unit you can be sure it will be an MP40 or an MP60.Take a guess wich one I am leaning towards got to save more money:)

"As always my experience with Marine Depot was 'overall satisfaction.' If on the phone, by video or the write-in reviews on the product I am interested in, they are always helpful. When I am in doubt of what product will help me or where to find it, Marine Depot is usually the first and last place I go to."
