Wondering if there is enough interest in a group buy for some vortech's as that seems to be the way this thread it pointing?

Mike, thanks a lot for your review and clarification on the VorTechs!!

I would be in on a group buy, but I'm not at the coast...not sure if it would end up doing me any good.

No problemo, happy to be of assistance. You really need to see/hear one in action in person to appreciate how it functions. I'm fairly certain J&L have one running in their tank by the door as you walk in, along with a wavebox etc. It's been a while since I've been there though, so who knows what they've got going in there now.

As for group buy, I'd be interested in one MP40W, but not sure a group buy will yield much in the way of savings. I'm fairly certain EcoTech is firm on their price so it's up to the retailer and they like to make a decent profit too. I've been keeping my eye on the buy/sell forum of a certain other reef forum. There are a few used ones for sale there, but never know what you're going to get buying used.

Hey Mike, there was a guy on Castanet selling his 90g (I think it was 90), and he's decided to part out he has two MP40s, maybe he'd offer them/it to you at a decent price. If the price is good enough, I might buy one of the two if we could work that out.

Darn this thread!! So I did a lot of checking on prices and even got prices for a GP and it was not worth it sooooooooooooo

I hit Red Coral on the way home and now I have a shinny new MP20.

I will install tonight and post some feed back.

Hmm, not familiar with Castanet, but I'll check it out. Similar to eBay or Craigslist?

Got the mp20 running this morning.

Started it on high and well the tank filled with crap coming off the rocks, I have noticed flow in areas that had no flow before.

I have been playing with the diferant settings even got a few waves happening, but have left it on about 80% on reef crest mode and will see how that works out.
