vortech noise???, turn ya telly up!!!![]()
Had loads of tunze with no problems now with a polario 1500 with no problems either and i am looking at adding a vortech also to eliminate a few deadspots probably a bit of overkill i know but i like the idea of diff flow patterns and no more wires in my tank !

I have 1x vortech mp10wes and 2x tunze 6055,s pumps running in my tank
{i was going to change the 2 6055,s for 2 mp 10Wes} because of the controller, the controller on the vortech is far better than any of the tunze ones IMO. but unfortunately i have had nothing but problems with my vortech mp10 it is now 8 months old and already i have had to have the dry side replaced twice under the warranty {itc are very very good for customer service i must add
} and i have also read on another form that the wet side magnet splitting and rusting on the mp10 is a common problem. so i have decided that the reliability issues are not some think that i can justify for the sake of the extra featers on the vortech controller over the tunze one’s,
so for me it has to be tunze !!!![]()

i have had both tunze wave box and now vortech mp40. tunze had no end of problems so sold it on. vortech so far is spot on... no issues and so much variable flow. corals love to dance in the gentle indirect random pulsating flow!
Vortech MP10w ES absolutely spot on. no noise and the controller is fantastic tidal swell and reef crest for movement in a tank can't be matched because they continually change![]()

polario ml10 here. fine for softies/lps but may lack with sps (unless some says different) in my 360l. I like the alternating flow and the fact that sat on my bracer bar, top dead centre of tank, you hardly notice it when viewing from the front
If I go more sps route then I prob would change for vortech or tunze, depending on price and availability at the time. Would need to research which ones of either though...
koralia on my system
would love an mp10 but due to being poori'm sticking with my koralia
