MACNA couldn’t have started off without a bang, eh? Ecotech Marine has decided that the time was right to steal the first day of showcasing new products. Their new pump is designed for those reefers who really want to go big or go home. The MP60 or MP60w, have the capacity to turnover a tank with volumes as great as 1,000 gallons. At 5500 gallons per hour, you better be sure you do not have slow swimming fish! Ecotech explains:
The MP60 is engineered for tanks holding 120 to over 1,000 gallons with up to one-inch glass thickness. The MP60 uses the same award-winning technology that has made EcoTech Marine’s VorTech line the number one brand of pump among reef aquarium enthusiasts. Capable of pushing 5,500/gph, the MP60 offers the smallest in-tank footprint for a commercially available pump.The MP60′s unmatched flow and out-of-the-box multi-pump wireless communication makes it the best value on the market for larger tanks. The MP60 leverages EcoSmart driver technology, introduced earlier this year, providing unmatched versatility, controllability and customization of flow patterns.
EcoTech Marine’s patented VorTech technology produces broad yet gentle flow while placing the motor outside the tank–preserving the beauty of the aquarium and enhancing the health of the tank’s ecosystem.
The pricing of this pump is not bad in relation to the costs of acquiring the MP40w. At 695$ each, they surely will replace your closed loop system, and even in some cases, your return pumps. More can be found on Ecotech’s website.
