    Flow Uncompromised

    In an aquarium, having the right amount of flow is crucial to the health of the ecosystem. With VorTech QuietDrive choosing the correct water circulation equipment has never been easier.
    VorTech pumps are designed by aquarists to be the gold standard for providing flow in marine aquariums. When it comes to broad yet gentle flow, the VorTech design is unmatched:
    Create massive water movement
    No coral damaging “hot spots”
    Natural Gyre
    Tank-wide flow patterns
    Precise control of water movement

    Magnetic Couple

    At the heart of the VorTech’s success is its unique, patented, magnetically coupled design.
    No distractions from the beauty of the tank and its inhabitants
    No wires in the aquarium
    No unwanted heat added to the water column
    No risk of electrical discharge harming people or marine life
    No hassle when it comes to installing, relocating or cleaning the power head

    Upgrade from EcoSmart

    For existing EcoSmart VorTech owners, an upgrade path can bring your VorTech pump the benefits of our QuietDrive technology. The upgrade path for each VorTech model might be slightly different.

    Battery Backup

    In an aquarium with no flow, fish and corals begin to die in as little as 4 to 10 hours. The VorTech Battery Backup is reef tank insurance in an aluminum housing.
    By adding the VorTech Battery Backup, your tank is insulated from power interruptions, helping protect your valuable investment -and your tank inhabitants.
    One EcoTech Marine Battery Backup will power one MP10wES or MP10ES for up to 72 hours.
    *Hours are estimated and will vary depending on battery life, pump mode and other factors.

    EcoSmart Modes

    Lagoonal Random
    Lagoonal Random Mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment. The speed of the pump is changed slowly to recreate the gentle currents of a lagoon.

    Reef Crest Random
    Reef Crest Random Mode simulates a high-energy reef environment. The pump will change speed frequently and drastically to simulate crashing waves and surging tide. This is a favorite of SPS corals.

    Gyre
    Gyre Mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform clockwise and counterclockwise flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between two seconds and two hours. Short Pulse Mode Short Pulse Mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform high and low flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between 0.2 seconds and two seconds.

    Tidal Swell Mode
    Tidal Swell Mode (TSM) creates a harmonic balance reminiscent of the changing flow conditions found in nature. Over the course of several hours, the flow pattern will go from very chaotic to calm, followed by a detritus-clearing surge at the very end of the cycle. The flow direction will change direction every cycle.

    Nutrient Transport Mode
    Nutrient Transport Mode (NTM) creates circulation in a two-phase program. The first phase uses a surging motion to stir up detritus. The second phase follows with a surging motion to move the detritus into the overflow and out of the aquarium. This mode promotes maximum health, nutrient export and increased growth for sensitive corals such as SPS.

    Feed Mode
    At the touch of a button all VorTech wirelessly enabled pumps will temporarily pause the current mode and idle allowing food to be added to the tank without being cycled into the overflow and filtration.

    Night Mode
    Pumps can be enables to run a gentler night time program simulating calmer ocean conditions for night time hours.

    Wave Auto-Tune
    Create a standing wave in your aquarium and demonstrate the true power of the fully operational VorTech QuietDrive control system.

    Multi-Pump Communication
    All "W" denominated VorTech Pumps come with an RF module installed. The RF Module will allow up to 8 "W" pumps of any type to work together in sync, anti-sync or coordinated modes.

    ESL via Mobile Device
    All "W" denominated VorTech Pumps are compatible with ReefLink. ReefLink provides completely wireless access to the world of EcoSmart Live, the web-based aquarium command center from EcoTech Marine.

    Battery Backup Mode
    Blizzard. Hurricane. A motorist hits a utility pole. Stuff happens. The power goes out... Vectra pumps are compatible with the EcoTech Battery Backup accessory.
