The EcoTech Marine VorTech MP40 is one of the best-known controllable wavemakers in reef-keeping. Its motor sits outside the glass and drives the propeller inside the tank magnetically.
Flow modes
Programmable modes include Lagoon, Reef Crest and Tidal Swell.
Maintenance
The wet side, the part inside the tank, is a wear item. It is sold separately and can be replaced without replacing the motor.
