vortech or tunze

[staceyd72]

Not sure if you have made a decision yet. Here is a link on a comparison of measured flow output for propeller pumps.

I have both a MP40 and a Tunze 6305(x2) and prefer the Tunze because of their maneuverability.

Note the experiment was sponsored in part by Ecotech.

I'm currently running 2 Koralia 4's so either would be an impressive upgrade. I still plan on running 1 K4 because I can't afford 2 controllable pumps. It's going in a 90G sps dominated reef.

I did some research about both and found:

Tunze 6105 with 7091 controller:
rock solid quality
quiet
cheaper
no wireless link

ecotech mp40 wes:
smaller in tank
expensive
noisy
wireless link

Any advice is appreciated, I'm having a hard time choosing.
