Ron Reefman · 04/16/2013, 09:20 PM

Oh what the heck, lets see what the current hot controllable pumps are.

Which did you vote for?

sharkkingpin · 04/16/2013, 09:37 PM

MP40 if you have earmuff with it

WP40 for me

ReachTheSky · 04/16/2013, 09:44 PM

This is far too specific... unless that's your goal here. Different sized tanks call for different sized pumps.

karsseboom · 04/16/2013, 09:46 PM

It all boils down to your budget.

E.intheC · 04/16/2013, 09:49 PM

I have one MP10 and one Tunze 6025. I love both and would easily buy another if necessary. I wouldnt put a WP40 in my tank if someone gave it to me for free.

How do I vote?

Not necessarily. I can afford any pump I might want and yet I pick the Jebao. Why, in my opinion I get more for my money. And even if it does for most people, the question stands on it's own.

your still looking to save a buck though. If you had all the money in the world which pump would you choose? wp40?

I'm not playing 'I have all the money in the world'. I'm asking the real world question, if you were buying today, which one would you buy? Simple as what. You know your wants and your finances, so pick the one you would buy.

phenom5 · 04/16/2013, 10:23 PM

I voted Tunze. Used them in the past (still have a couple), love 'em. Currently have vortech, love them too. But if I were setting up a new tank, I'd probably go with Tunze...I think.

rtparty · 04/16/2013, 10:37 PM

What if I want the Tunze 6095? Should I vote for the 6105?

I think people will vote for what they have and can afford. Not what they ultimately want.

I voted vortech, I also like tunze because of noise issues with the vortechs.

That is what I want, vote for what you would buy today.

Tunze

same for me. Just because we didnt buy the top of the line brand name doesnt mean we have no money or buy all cheap equipment. Anyone would be a sucker to not look into these because they were made in china. Im pretty sure 99.9 % of everything people use in a given day is made in china

shifty51008 · 04/17/2013, 06:19 AM

Your gonna need alot of money buying jeabo as youll be replacing them when they have problems rather than haveing a pump with great cs to help you out no questions asked.

Btw that was kinda a joke as i dont know how well the jeabos will last. Who knows they may run a a year or more with no problems,but i like the idea of having a pump that i know if it does have problems i will be taken care of.

This is such an elitist attitude. Hell of a job from vortech getting you guys feeling all high and mighty from your powerhead. If anything I may even venture to say maybe your vortech was a huge purchase for your budget, hence why it's soooo hard to actually admit someone can make a better pump for less.
Please don't assume financial status of board members.

I can assure you I can buy vortechs and currently still own one. still I think the wp40 is a better pump.

Hmmmm. Seems like a wet side ( which need replacing every few years) cost more than one jebao wp40. Yup they are taking care of you just fine. Or maybe I should say "you are taking care of them just fine".

Dbondaruk · 04/17/2013, 08:09 AM

Anyone know if you can connect a wp 40 to a apex?

bayoupr · 04/17/2013, 08:14 AM

MP40 for me. Had both Tunze 6105 and MP40 and like the 40. The 6105 is a great pump and CS is excellent but I prefer the look and wider flow from the MP40.

if you look, I don't own vortech pumps either because of the noise and the replacement parts of the wetside. I own tunze have had pumps running for 8+ years with not a single problem yet.

klwheat · 04/17/2013, 11:51 AM

Had to add my input I suppose. I own an MP40 and a WP40. I like them both. I like the randomness and massive flow. I like the smaller in-tank footprint of the MP40, but not enough to spend an additional $400 on it. I'm ordering 2 more wp40s soon. They have just as much flow, similar wavemaking/randomness, and MUCH better pricing. They're also quieter.

d-man · 04/17/2013, 12:55 PM

I've had all three, granted the mp was a mp20. Selling my tunzes for my wp40's.
