    Re: Vortech MP40 Quiet Drive Pumps

    Picked up me pumps last night from UK Aquatics

    What a night trying to remove the old pumps and fit these new ones

    Anyway midnight and all done ....couple of cuts to my hands taking old pumps out, would not move off the glass as they been there for just over a year.

    Just got to look at programming them up now ....got them set at 30% running until I get a bit more time.

    I must admit I can hear the wining of the dry side of mine but only when everything is quiet, I set mine to reef yellow I think and every time I come to turn it off for feeding the lights are a solid white . Any ideas ?

    Hi Dave

    Mine are set to reef mode at the moment running at 50% not had any time to play with them yet as been busy, I do have them connected together and noticed the master control is yellow and the other is white, got to say they are quiet
