Yeah, size-wise the voyager loses... Not such a big deal in my tank, but i can see the reason to like the Vortech for that.
I think one of the reasons I'm sour is that some folks have silent ones, and I don't. I lost the Ecotech quality control lottery. I paid the price, I want that to go...
Alright, so as of about a week ago, I was a big fan of Ecotech Vortech pumps, I have an MP40 plus the WXM module for my Apex to control it. I was about to participate in a group buy and I added an MP60 to my order. Then I found out that Ecotech doesn't allow retailers to discount their products...
What time that day? Maybe you can do both. It's right near city hall, you can get hitched, go pick up some corals, and then spend the night acclimating.

I just ordered two of the Voyager HP 4000, shipped Prime from Amazon. I think I'll retire my MP40 from my DT, move it to the frag tank. DT is built into a wall and the vibrations are terrible, this low rumble in the other room when the thing...
Yeah, they're not quiet compared to other propeller pumps. Their only plus is their low heat and wireless. Though in reality, the control isn't all that... You'd mostly want to run them full on, full off anyway, except they make WAY too much noise full on, so you have to ramp them up and down...
Churn seems way too high on the GFO, it's going to grind itself to bits. I don't know what the pellets are supposed to run at, but I'd expect that to be too high for them too.
I just purchased... I bought 3-months worth of the slide packs. Though I don't think you need them in order to use the PAR meter. I think that's their way to give away the razor and sell the blades, but it also gives you a nice web UI for a bunch of stats. In any case, I just ordered one, I'll...
