Vortech Properller Pump MP40mQD from EcoTech

The gold standard for generating flow in reef tanks, the VorTech is unsurpassed in beauty and functionality.

Flow Uncompromised:
In an aquarium, having the right amount of flow is crucial to the health of the ecosystem.
With VorTech QuietDrive choosing the correct water circulation equipment has never been easier.
VorTech pumps are designed by aquarists to be the gold standard for providing flow in marine aquariums.
When it comes to broad yet gentle flow, the VorTech design is unmatched.

Magnetic Couple:
At the heart of the VorTech’s success is its unique, patented, magnetically coupled design.
No distractions from the beauty of the tank and its inhabitants.
No wires in the aquarium.
No unwanted heat added to the water column.
No risk of electrical discharge harming people or marine life.
No hassle when it comes to installing, relocating or cleaning the power head.

Vortech Modes – Flow:

Lagoon Mode
Lagoon mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment.
The speed of the pump is changed slowly to recreate the gentle currents of a lagoon.

Reef Crest Mode:
Reef Crest Random mode simulates a high-energy reef environment.
The pump will change speed frequently and drastically to simulate crashing waves and surging tide.
This is a favorite of SPS coral.

Gyre Mode:
Gyre mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform clockwise and counterclockwise flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between two seconds and two hours.

Short Pulse Mode:
Short Pulse mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform high and low levels pulsing at a selected interval between 0.2 seconds and 2 seconds.

Tidal Swell Mode:
Tidal Swell mode (TSM) creates a harmonic balance reminiscent of the changing flow conditions found in nature.
Over the course of several hours, the flow pattern will go from very chaotic to calm, followed by a detritus-clearing surge at the very end of the cycle.
The flow direction will change direction every cycle.

Nutrient Transport Mode:
Nutrient Transport mode (NTM) creates circulation in a two-phase program.
The first phase uses wave motion to stir up detritus.
The second phase follows with a surging motion to move the detritus into the overflow and out of the aquarium.
This mode promotes maximum health, nutrient export and increased growth for sensitive corals such as SPS.
