Looking for a MP 40 Demo....

I know... I know... Sounds funny for someone to ask for a
demonstration but I REALLY want one of these things. They are so high though. I
was just wondering if someone that has one could possibly bring one over and
slap it on the side of my tank and let it run for a while, show me how it works
and for me to just look at how one would act on my tank. I could arrange for
food and beverages for the time spent. Just really a thing I want to see work
and try out for a bit before taking that plunge (and possibly convincing the
other half we need one)

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't mean to be insensitive lol

 

I meant that to stick out just a lil... She surfs these forums from time to time.. LOL

 

These are some really nice powerheads, I have never owned one but seen them work.  sdfbeanhead uses several and really likes them but I do not think they are the king of the aquarium powerheads. There are a lot of halves of these on eBay which I asume means that it has some problems that may have been overcome by now.  Take a look at this article that came out in Advanced Marine Aquarist Mag:  [url2='http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2011/7/aafeature':2oje4lr7]http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2011/7/aafeature[/url2:2oje4lr7]

 

I reread the article and took a good look at the flow graphs.  Looks like that the
Vortech has the best overall flow rate from the center.  They are so expensive though.

 

I still think that the closed loop system is going to win out with me simply b/c of the cost but I would love for someone to be able to make me a believer...

 

I have the MP40 and love it as soon as I can justify it I plan to add a second on my 120. For your tank I would go with the MP60. I have not mastered all the functions, but it is easy to use.

 

Everything that I am reading says two MP40s over one MP60 on reverse cycles is the way to go... either way its 6 to 8 hundred I just dont have for a trolling motor head to put on my tank... LOL

 

I see how it is... All the people with them dont want to part with them for a day of good food and choice beverages... Fine... Be that way.... LOL

Alas.. I will sit at home and stare at my tank and wonder what it would look like with the power of a vortech....

 

Re: Re: Looking for a MP 40 Demo....

I just got an idea go get 2 trolling motors and find a way to get them to pulse in your tank that's a redneck wavemaker. Lol I'm just saying.

Its the same principle.. Trolling motors are 12 volt though. You would have to ahve a converter. Still, if you put one in and had a cage around the blades you would have a hell of a power head...

I read the review on the coral lifestyle. I still say that that system will be no different than two koralia fours on a duo though. We shall see.
