I think its innate insecurity. Something comes along that just might make them question their decision, so they have to destroy it before they have a chance to think about it.

It's the name. MP40 owners are pissed that WP40 owners feel like they do, but for $85, even though it's very clear that the only thing Vortech about the WP40 is the upside down M, and the fact it moves water. I stated before, I don't care if they called it the mighty morphin power ranger super water blaster maker, it looks like a real nice pump for $85 + shipping.
 
Why do people have problem with this? Its great that some people got those and are sharing their experience. No one is saying they Vortechs but its nice that finally someone did something to close the gap between cheap power heads and the high end. I did have two MP40wES brand new and after less than two years i got rid of them in favor of Tunze. That are nice but really never used more than two settings ( reef crest and NTM ). Looks like i can get similiar flow for a lot less $$$ with this one. I wouldn't trash new product yet, let see how they perform, just because they're Chinese made doesn't make them bad in my book. And funny thing, most people who post negative comments don't even own one, lol. Keep posting guys, let see how they do long term.
 
These pumps look sweet. I have never had a vortech. I do have a controllable Tunze. I love the Tunze, i plan on getting another at least (depends on the tank i upgrade to). I favor Tunze because it works with my Apex. And from what i hear, it's quieter than Vortech.

All that being said, if I need a powerhead to move a ton of water, but don't need it controlled by the Apex, i will look into the wp40 or wp25 (whenever it comes out).

Not sure why people are so down on these... :confused:
 
Wait for a few days, I will have 2 in my hand and see. I am running now 3 Tunzes and 2 MP40s.

Mark, you are right about this "And funny thing, most people who post negative comments don't even own one, lol."
 
I've seen videos and reviews of these things and they look really good!

Now for the only negative I see with the whole MP vs. WP: The WP unit is completely inside the tank, wire and all. This will put off some heat, not a lot, but it will, more so on a small system. The MP on the other hand has the motor externally so any heating would be minimal as it would have to transfer through the glass or acrylic.

With that being said, I think there is great value to these and it's just a matter of the above and if you want something of that size in your tank. If you have koralias or tunzes currently and looking at going with these, I'm guessing size-wise it's not that much bigger. If you're an votech person, then you'll go with the vortech. In a larger aquarium the heating would be minimal anyways.

Me personally, I like having less equipment in my tank. That's the entire reason I bought a vortech. But if I bought a larger system and could find a creative way of camouflaging the pump, I would probably go with the WP's.

It has a built in controller. It would require some reprogramming to work with a controller.
