Anyone have an MP-40 in north Houston/woodlands area? curious about noise (1 Viewer)

[txaggie09]

As title says, I am looking for someone in north houston/woodlands area that wouldnt mind showing off their vortech mp-40. I have heard so much about them, some say theyre extremely loud, some say theyre no worse than other equipment. Before I drop the cash on one I'd like to see one in person. Or if anyone knows of a fish store around here that has a tank running one, thatll work.

Thanks!

Try FJW. He should have some used. He'll put it on his tanks for you also to hear it..fyi, I've had 3 and they all sounded different.

Listen and be very quiet ...................can your hear them? Exactly NOTHING!!

They are far from silent, especially if you have them cranked up. Loudest piece of equipment i own, but they are still awesome.

I did not like them. Too noisy and don't last . Sold every single one of them. You know what I have now.

Tolerance to noise is different from person to person so you should go listen for yourself. I have ranging from mp10-60 and none of them really bother me or my wife. To be honest I don't have any of my friends or family coming over and say "oh that is loud." I am running both mp60 and tunze on my main tank and I prefer maintenance on the vortech pump much more. I buy spare wetside so I just pop the old one out dunk in vinegar and swap the standby one in and repeat the cycle. Now my tunze cleaning I always dreaded doing. All these extra long cord to pull in and out. I have all my electrical isolate from the maintank so to pull the tunze cable in and out for pump service is a pain in the ********* in all by itself.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the input. Its all been pretty much up to each person as to whether or not they are loud. Thats the main reason I want to hear them in person.

FJW, i will try to make it over there when I get a chance. Work has been keeping me out of town for some time now.
