siskiou Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 This is probably a long shot: is there anyone in Eugene with a spareMP40 Vortech, who would let me borrow/rent it for a few days, so I can see if it works for my tank? One of my two main pumps (Tunze) packed it in after years of reliable service, and I've been making due with a bunch of Koralias. I've been hearing lots of good things about Vortechs, but the waves it creates in some of the youtube vids I've seen, look a little scary. So does the price for these!(scary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I just got one and I can say they are amazing. Worth every penny. You can adjust the flow and the speed. I was always unsure about them as well but now that I've got an ecotech I wouldn't have anything else Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Do you have one or two in your tank (is it the 120G)? And if one, do you still have other circulation pumps, or is one enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Not sure if you have contacted Roger at Tunze but he has been great to me over the last year in upgrading my old Tunzes to new ones-I just sent a 6100 in that I fried from water damage and got a replacement, the new 6105 (which replaced the 6100) granted it was 235.00 but thats cheaper than the 360.00 for a new one. They may even have used ones, not sure of your model You may want to email him and see what he says. tunze@sbcglobal.net Roger Rvitco I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Thanks, I've contacted him and I could get a 6105 for a discount, but I'm curious about the vortech, too.

Found mine new on ebay for $370 each shipped just have to do a little searching. $370? All I can find is $449-$469 for the mp40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I would keep an eye out at ReefCentral's sale threads. I snagged mine 6 months old for $225 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'd get one for that price, but they are always gone or cost way more, when I see the thread! Got to get a vacation and spend it at the RC classified thread, until I can score one. *g* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefStar Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have a pair of Tunze 6100 with magnetic holder and a 7095 controller with photosensor for night mode. This controller controls up to 4 pumps. They are in great shape. Pm me if interested. I will let it go for a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
