It was time to retire the Tunzes and bought two MP40's so far so good.

My new clam, it's a squamosa, about 10"-12". It's the second clam. I'm going for 8-10 clams.

I still do believe that tunze is a better product. There is no noise, no parts to replace once you purchase a pump, it lasts forever with proper maintenance; The magnet is much better quality (if you own a tank with thicker glass), and the Tunze is much more powerful than the VorTech in my opinion (Tunze 6100 with controller versus MP40).

I was running 4 large tunzes in the tank and it was taking away from the Elos look so decided to go back to VorTechs. It's all about the presentation. :D

Nice! You have the dryside assembly zip-tied to the glass?

Not to the glass. It's zip tied to the light pole structure. So if it falls, it won't hit the ground.

What I don't like is the sticky mounting tabs are white where it sticks to glass. Couldn't they make that in black? They started making it in black for the MP60s.
