CA2OR Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 agreed. So, who has the best prices under $400? I want the ES W but I hear the regular ES has a reef crest mode? is that one adjustable on flow rate as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC-k3v Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 The only MP40 being made right now by Ecotech is the "MP40w ES". I'm not 100% sure they are going to support the old driver for much longer. The modes you speak of are driver driven, and not to do with the "w". They all are adjustable.

jackaninny Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hmm.....dang that sucks. Alright....well now I am shopping for the best price' date=' IN BOX. I don't want to pay $455 for a pump. Do I need a MP40 for a 3x3x2 tank?[/quote'] Yes you'd need an MP40 for that size. You can price out alternatives but it's not going nearly as effective and a whole lot more complex.

AC-k3v Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 So' date=' who has the best prices under $400? [/quote'] Any official dealer is not going to price a pump publicly for under MAP (list price). It is against our contract with them and we can be pulled from distributorship. Verbally, Privately, or Advertised In Store (Brick and Mortar) is not against their policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackaninny Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 The 'w' just means it has the RF module to communicate with any other 'w' pumps to form a unit and work together. Pretty sure they only are making the MP10 ES in a non-w model - all others are now 'w ES' only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 ok....so I do need a 40 and want a newer one right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackaninny Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 If you have any doubts about the tech behind these bad boys check out the YouTube videos people have made. I would also be sending a PM to Kevin to figure out your best price unless he can't drop ship from here on the mainland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
