Introducing the Ecotech Marine MP60w ES

EcoTech Marine, the company that revolutionized the reef aquarium propeller pump, previewed their newest product, the MP60w ES, today at MACNA (Marine Aquarium Conference of North America) in Orlando, FL.

The MP60 is engineered for tanks holding 120 to over 1,000 gallons with up to one-inch glass thickness. The MP60 uses the same award-winning technology that has made EcoTech Marine’s VorTech line the number one brand of pump among reef aquarium enthusiasts. Capable of pushing 5,500/gph, the MP60 offers the smallest in-tank footprint for a commercially available pump. A limited number of units are being made available to the media for review.

“The MP60 satisfies a pent-up market demand for VorTech technology in larger tanks,” said Tim Marks, president of EcoTech Marine. “Prior to this launch, aquarists with tanks having pane thicknesses greater than three-quarters of an inch had very few options for high-flow solutions. We are excited to provide this much desired solution for the most discerning and diehard hobbyists. Performance and quality are always our top priorities. This addition is a natural evolution for us, and perfectly rounds out our VorTech line of products.”

The MP60 was designed to create the most flow in the smallest package possible. In EcoTech Marine’s quest to continually raise the bar on reef flow technology, the unit runs quiet, cool and with minimal vibration. “This is a very proud introduction for us,” added Marks.

The MP60’s unmatched flow and out-of-the-box multi-pump wireless communication makes it the best value on the market for larger tanks. The MP60 leverages EcoSmart driver technology, introduced earlier this year, providing unmatched versatility, controllability and customization of flow patterns.

EcoTech Marine’s patented VorTech technology produces broad yet gentle flow while placing the motor outside the tank–preserving the beauty of the aquarium and enhancing the health of the tank’s ecosystem.

Availability and Pricing

The MP60w ES is slated to be available later this year through EcoTech’s network of premiere reef stores and online vendors with an MSRP of $695. Keep checking our website for an exact release date.

Now Featuring AquaMaxx Protein Skimmers

AquaMaxx Protein Skimmers

AquaMaxx in-sump protein skimmers are built using exceptional cell-cast acrylic, bubble plates and easily adjustable riser tubes. They are rated for aquariums 100-300 gallons yet are thin enough to be concealed in a sump underneath your aquarium.
AquaMaxx in-sump protein skimmers remove organic waste from aquarium water. They create a strong mix of small air bubbles and turbulent water movement to force protein, waste and other materials into a collection cup for easy removal.
AquaMaxx skimmers are computer-precision engineered and utilize the latest filtration technology to deliver the performance and value you are looking for in a protein skimmer.

EASE OF USE
AquaMaxx in-sump protein skimmers are easy to setup and maintain. Just twist the knob counter clockwise at the top of the riser pipe to adjust the foam level to wet or dry.

Maintenance is simple. A removable collection cup makes cleaning easy. Plus, every AquaMaxx protein skimmer includes a drain fitting for hobbyists who want to setup a separate reservoir for skimmate. A silencer located at the top of the riser tube eliminates noise from the venturi.

SO MANY OPTIONS, SO MANY FEATURES
AquaMaxx protein skimmers were designed from the ground up with the hobbyist in mind. The AquaMaxx AM-2500 protein skimmer has the pump placed inside the skimmer itself to save space, reduce noise and improve efficiency. All AquaMaxx protein skimmers have rubber feet that isolate noise and reduce vibration.

AquaMaxx protein skimmers are computer designed. Each unit is precision-cut and made of polished cell-cast acrylic.

IT’S ALL ABOUT PERFORMANCE
AquaMaxx in-sump protein skimmers feature Sedra or Sicce pumps with special needlewheel impellers to produce large amounts of air with optimum bubble size. These pump and protein skimmer combinations deliver unprecedented performance and reliability. Aquarium waste will be vigorously removed from your tank so you can focus less on maintenance and more on enjoying your piece of the reef.
