Vortechs?

I like the fact that its very small and no wires in the tank. Not sure what I want to do yet. I have been looking into the Tunze powerheads.

just a note the mp60 is a monster, reason it's loud is because it has a built in fan inside the motor housing. I have to 4inch computer fans(brand new)in my canopy and they drown out any noise from my mp40.

I don't think the MP60s is a smart choice for most of us with moderately large tanks. For example it wouldn't make any sense on my 215 gallon tank. The drawbacks would far outweight any benefits of the MP60s.

The rythmic nature of the short pulse does get to me though even on the MP40s. In random mode I don't notice it at all.

Lol I think the 60 is much more tolerable than my 40. The 40 is a higher pitch, thus more annoying.

I really like the powerheads, just not the noise.

Just hooked mine up last night and the noise isnt too bad. So far so good but had to rearrange some corals as this thing causes some crazy under tow and 2 frogspawns looked like they were about to get sucked up.

Still trying to find the right setting though...

love mine the most when the power is out. they are worth every penny then. the only thing I don't like is that that you can't angle them. I have had to replace a few shafts, and bought a new inside head for mine. They don't eat snails very well.

the only reason I don't have one now is I don't have the money.. as soon as I do I will have one
