Ecotech Marine Quietdrive - PREORDER

So the MP40 makes a decent change in flow and noise.. but how about the MP10?

Is there a big difference in noise in the MP10ES vs the MP10QD?

Im testing out a MP10WES right now and i find the whirl sound of the dry side to be noticeably loud from a few feet away..

The MP10 is quietened further with the upgrade of the MP10-QD driver this is the only component that needs to be changed from MP10ES(or W) to MP10QD

I just performed the upgrade from the ES to QD this afternoon and wow, it actually does make a noticeable difference! I'm very sensitive to noises, and the MP10 was the loudest part of my tank. I had it on Reef Crest at the 3rd "dot" and could still hear it.

It is now barely audible. I mean it too. I know a lot of people say their MP10 is quiet, but mine was loud (I have gone through three of them, and all sounded the same)

The QD isn't a gimmick, I say go for it, if the current noise bothers you.
