Ok Fellows, I will be placing an order for MP40. Please let me know who is interested. I's say the price per pump would be anywhere between $90 - $95 Shipped to Chicago Land area.
I need a count on how many of you are interested. I will be taking 4 pumps. We have till the end of the week to place an order. I can start a new thread for the Group buy. The more we get the cheaper the price.

These things are cool and all and i got to see one in action and in person and they are huge. They do psh a lot of water and make a wave but we compared 2mp10s on a 75 directly after testing the wp-40 and i was more impressed with the mp's. It looks like a jet tubefrom a wave runner lol. There are 2 other reefers on here that witnessed it.
For the price they are nice and make the famous wave but it still doesn't compare.

Troof! I wuz there. Two MP10 in a 75g was far better flow patterns and much nicer undertow flow on the sandbed than the WP40. The WP pushed tons of water at the surface but only in a straight line out the pump, while the mp10s did a crazy job of stirring up detritus we didn't even expect to see. Great pump for the price but definitely no replacement for a vortech.

Just another thing to add. The biggest reason i hated my koralias was i always had a problem keeping sand in certain areas no matter how i faced my phs. When we did a comparison the wp40 kicked up sand like the koralias and with the mps no issues. By far the biggest reason i got the mps lol.
Not trying to start a debate again, just stating a opinion on the comparison we did on the exact same tank.

Aren't the WP40's meant for larger/deeper tanks? 75 gallon doesn't sound like a good test subject. I had 1 koralia that stirred up sand in our 40b, no matter where it was angled. Now, we have 2 of those koralias in a 90, and the sand bed doesn't move. Just food for thought.

I'm comparing an mp10 which is considered for nano tanks. I consider a 75 a decently large tank. If i was comparing the mp40 then yeah. But I'm saying that 2 smaller pumps were better then one larger pump. There is a big difference between a 40b and a 75. Not that big of a difference from a 75 to a 90.

Joe stop hating 
You are in shock as this pump can create a better wave than your two small MP10's....lol!!!
Also this pump at 1st picked up some much detritus that I was shocked.. Now the MP10's did pick up some detritus but what pump doesn't when it creates an undertow
I seen this pump pick up detritus on a 8ft gal tank....now that was crazy!!!

OK guys,
Finally I get the light sensor working and I love this pump more and more every day. At night my SPS seem happy and sleep well with a soft silence flow.
The only thing I hope it last longer for us.
I sold all my 2 x MP40 and never look back. I keep 3 tunze 6055 in case this Chinese Pump is fell. I think I should compare this pump to Tunze 6105 or 6205 because the shape are identical (not the MP40 or MP10). For the size like that I should not compare to the MP10. If it broke then I will go for Tunze 6095.
I don't have soft corals in my tank but I do have some nice milli and they are seem happy with wave (Else Mod).
$98 shipped to Chicago, it's really good price to try it out. Come over see my tank and the WP40.
Happy reefing.
