Yeah, it is overpriced with poor quality reviews on the wet side pump as Fishytime said. But, if I only need to spend $500 for a pump, I will definitely go for it. The problem is, I have to many things to buy for the whole year supplies for my tank. 4,5 pails of salt, MH and T5 bulbs, all kind of additives and test ... with too many things I can't even write it down without looking at the list. It really sucks being poor but I got addicted to this expensive hobby, I can't get out

dude...
Get a wavebox. Even the Nano wave box will work in your tank. Honestly, the motion in your tank is incomparable to anything else once you've had a wavebox, its tough to look at a tank without one.

+1 After lots of reviews and talk a wavebox is going to be my next investment.

I know wavebox is the best for me, but as I said about my unluck with Vortech, I also had no luck with Tunze wavebox, big or small ... because Calgary, Alberta, Edmonton ... canreefers prefered to sell for local people first (with a good price too), before me

I would love to get some lightly used pumps because it is much cheaper and you pay no tax. Unfortunately, those good deals were gone too fast before I had a chance to send them a PM. I was always behind from someone. If too old or no history behind it, I prefer to just pay for a new one, maybe a 50 to a hundred more but I know I have a waranty for 1 year. That's why I have decided to take advantage of this Boxing day coming up to get a decent pump. But learning from my many mistakes I have made, I would love to hear your comments before I buy it. So please, anyone with your experiences, please help me this time. Thanks for the link

Just thought i'd chime in quickly on the vortec's reliabilty; i'm not a vortech fanboy by any means (they were well suited to my tank, so that's why i have an MP10 ES and an MP40 ES W) but here's my experience with them in the 8 months or so that they've been running. I've had to do zero maintenance on the MP40 despite having to clean heavy calcium deposits out of all 5 of the othe pumps, 3 of which had actually stalled out, including a smaller MJ, a koralia, and the MP10. That being said, after figuring out how to disassemble the wetside and giving it a quick cleaning it's back up and running, no big deal. The MP10 i bought new and it's always had noisy bearings, but it's running on glass that's too thick so i haven't tried to warranty it. The MP40 i bought new but 2nd hand from a fellow Canreefer and has been awesome, nearly dead silent and zero problems despite running in less than ideal conditions.
Edit: looks like i'm a little late with this comment, but have a merry christmas and good luck with the boxing day shopping! Last edited by jostafew; 12-22-2011 at 05:12 PM.
