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.

Q
Is it the same size as the mp40WD
My magnet on the Wetside of my mp40WD, has gotten a bubble somehow. I was wondering if the base on this item is the same size base as the regular mp40wd

CONS
EXPENSIVE!!

I see a lot of folks who complain about these pumps do so for the same reasons "they rust" is usually what I see on social media. I just replaced my MP40 wet sides that are several years old. I'm also still running my original MP10's. I have not experienced the same as those who say "they rust" and I don't know if that's because I take them out of service weekly to clean and inspect them or not, but the only negative I can give these things is that they are VERY expensive. Price aside though they are quiet, they move a lot of water, and they are pretty good at nutrient export and NO CORDS in my water! I want to see fish and coral in my aquarium not cords.Hide
CONS
kinda expensive, but the quality is top notch

One of my mp40's propellor got stuck for some reason. I tried cleaning it and it did not budge. Luckily, I bought an extra and I just placed it on and not issues in my tank. They are very sturdy and once I got my old one in a vinegar bath, it was ready for use.

Unit seized up after two weeks. Marine Depot refuses to help, deferring to Ecotech. Ecotech was initially apologetic but after receiving details and photos of the defective wet side unit, ignored messages and then closed the claim. When I attempted to reopen the claim, they told me I'd have to not only ship and insure the defective part at my own expense, but also the entire dry side which is not defective and which I've had for years. Horrible product. Not a reliable company.Hide

Overall, the MP40wQD Wetside assembly is super. I've used it in my 90 gallon reef tank for the past two and a half years. It's reliable and efficient. I strongly recommend this product with all it's components including the backup battery and outside the tank driver to keep the heat outside glass. As a complete system you will feel totally confident you are in good hands when you are away from home and through the night. Buy the whole system from Marine Depot who offers quick delivery, a good price and back-up customer service which is unequaled.Hide
