The MP20 from EcEcoTech Marine has revolutionized reef aquarium propeller pumps. Ideally suited for aquariums smaller than 70 gallons, the MP20 produces unmatched broad yet gentle flow while placing the motor outside the tank—preserving the beauty of your aquarium and enhancing the health of your tank’s ecosystem.
With all the electrical components outside the aquarium and a variety of easy-to-program modes, the VorTech is the safest, most versatile pump on the market. And, if your tank needs to grow, the MP20 can be upgraded to the MP40w—providing you wireless communication between your pumps and even more functionality and flow.

Feed Mode - Slows down your pump for 10 minutes to allow you to feed your aquarium.
Constant Speed Mode - The pump runs at a constant speed you set based on your aquarium’s specific needs.

Lagoon Mode - Simulate a calmer, lagoon reef environment.
Optional Battery Backup - Keeps the circulation going during power failure for up to 30 hours.

control box sucks

I have wanted one of these since their introduction. I must say they put out awesome flow but quality wise I think they are cheaply made when I got mine the wiring was pulled out of the rubber boot that goes into the control box and the overall feel of it is not impressive. I was expecting so much more for the money. I am going to keep it but it will be the only one I ever get.I have no idea where the cost is justified it must be in the programming, it sure is not in the build of the control box which is roughly the same grade of plastic as a happy meal toy. The motor housing and the business end are pretty beefy and seem well built but I just cant get over the box and the way the buttons feel hopefully the folks at ecotech have improved their quality with the new eco-smart driver they just released.One other thing to note there is a mention of needing to be broken in before it works right this is kind of silly for such an expensive product. I have owned a bunch of powerheads/pumps and have never had to break them in for a week to function properly.For the first 3 days it ran it kept erroring out and shutting down and I guess this is normal from what the manual says,kind of crazy. I have it hooked up correctly and followed the instructions to a tee so there is no error on my part I made sure of it before posting this.I am very bummed that I had to review this product in such a fashion but it is what it is.like I said the flow is awesome as is the programming now if they can just use a better grade of materials on the driver box and more solid feeling buttons this review would be a lot better

I bought this pump for my custom 12x12x21" tall nano. The very small size, & super wide flow is perfect for my tank. I keep it at a constant speed as low as possible. No other nano pump could compare.
