VorTech Propeller Pump - MP20

The MP20 from EcEcoTech Marine has revolutionized reef aquarium propeller pumps. Ideally suited for aquariums smaller than 70 gallons, the MP20 produces unmatched broad yet gentle flow while placing the motor outside the tank—preserving the beauty of your aquarium and enhancing the health of your tank’s ecosystem.

With all the electrical components outside the aquarium and a variety of easy-to-program modes, the VorTech is the safest, most versatile pump on the market. And, if your tank needs to grow, the MP20 can be upgraded to the MP40w—providing you wireless communication between your pumps and even more functionality and flow.

Operational Modes

Feed Mode - Slows down your pump for 10 minutes to allow you to feed your aquarium.

Constant Speed Mode - The pump runs at a constant speed you set based on your aquarium’s specific needs.

Reef Crest Mode - Simulate the high-energy conditions of a natural reef crest environment.

Lagoon Mode - Simulate a calmer, lagoon reef environment.

Optional Battery Backup - Keeps the circulation going during power failure for up to 30 hours.

Customer Testimonials

I must say that I am extremely impressed with the features of the pump. The thing that most impressed me was the innovation of locating the magnetic motor outside of the tank while the propeller is inside.

-Millard Reeves

All models of the Vortechs are absolutely the best solution for generating optimal flow in reef tanks. I have been using and recommending them since they were first released, and their reliability and performance continues to be unsurpassed.
