I haven't got my pumps yet, they are in the mail but I downloaded the EcoSmart manual from the Ecotech site before I ordered. The full manual is available in pdf at the following link:http://ecotechmarine.com/ecosmart/

Thanks by the way. That helps explain things a little better.

Keep an eye on the starting time you set the night mode at. There are problems with it delaying a bit every day resulting in the night mode kicking in later every day. I'd be interested to know if your new drivers are afflicted in the same manner. I need to reset the time every week or so to keep it in line. Not a real big deal, but EcoTech seems to be struggling with a solution.

So after running this for a couple of weeks I really like it. Running on reef crest. But noticed a really weird thing. I have a Bell Express Veiw sat. The kind that runs multiple rooms. The main tv is fine but the ones in other rooms have slight lines that flicker on the screen. I know the vortech is causing this because it only started when I put the pump in. When I shut it off the lines go away. Anyone else experience this. Could there be a problem with my pump to cause this interference?

Haha nope its normal mine did the exact same, messed with the TV and actually if you try and play a radio by it the frequency of the Vortec will be played. It's an absolutely evil sound, I woke up to it the morning after I watched Paranormal activity and nearly died.

Thanks. I was beginning to think I got a "bad strain." You of all people should know what I mean by that.

Haha because I can't portray sarcasm properly on this site:

[Sarcasm]
I have no idea at all what your talking about
