GHill762 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 That's cool, I'm excited to see more Link to comment
LynkUK Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I hope they changed the design of the wet side of the MP10. My dry side is pretty quiet apart from a faint whine as it revs up in reef crest. My main problem with the MP10 is the window of best alignment between the wet side making a clicking sound and/or starting to hear vibration through the glass is so small it can be like performing micro surgery. Also how the hell does ecotech expect to you to align the pump at full power in a small tank, or with livestock that would have the flesh ripped from its bones you did? I really hope the alignment of wet and dry side isn't such a tightrope walk with this version. Link to comment

I really hope the alignment of wet and dry side isn't such a tightrope walk with this version. Probably will be the same, it seems like the nature of the two half design makes the issues with misalignment unavoidable. The two sides being misaligned in any amount will cause stress on bearings. I suppose I could be wrong, but I don't see how the issue can be fixed with this design. Link to comment
Chris155hp Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Right? The first time I saw it, I felt like this and then I remembered with all the changes I probably should keep my mouth shut. I still can't believe how much quieter it was, especially with all the flow changes. UGGGhhh i hate you guys i wanna know already!!!! =p Link to comment
Chris155hp Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Any idea when this week they will make this announcement? Link to comment

joem1cha3l Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Crap. I just ordered a MP10 ES last night. Maybe I should have waited? Sounds like a price drop on those is coming also Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Crap. I just ordered a MP10 ES last night. Maybe I should have waited? Sounds like a price drop on those is coming also This is the MP40 they are advertising. The MP10 and MP60 will more than likely be off in the future depending on what actually changed. It says new dry side, but if it were really 'new' and solid-state it wouldn't need to be so big, it would be flat. Link to comment
4x5 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 ...but if it were really 'new'... Don't come in here with your air quotes Mr President of the Gyre Fan Club. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Don't come in here with your air quotes Mr President of the Gyre Fan Club. Hey man, I used MP40s for the longest stretch of my reef so far, and they were badass. I'm just calling what I know and see so far Think about it this way - with as much capital as Ecotech put into the design of the original dry side, if they were going to make radical changes to it (solid state) they'd not need it to be anywhere near as large as it is, which would save in manufacturing costs and would make sense over time. Plus, they could be all 'look at how flat the new dry side is, you know you want it!' lol Link to comment

Chris! Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 https://www.facebook.com/scasilli/po...7647:0?fref=nf I'm surprise no ones said this yet..... Its a hoax, these are all labeled mp40 the new Quiet Drives are supposed to be QDXX Link to comment

Its a hoax, these are all labeled mp40 the new Quiet Drives are supposed to be QDXX I was actually wondering about that myself. but it also makes me wonder if they're "leaking" this all out there and when they release the actual product it will look nothing like this. as far as what they're to be called, I was under the impression they would be MPxxQD (rather than MPxxES). either way, no clue until ecotech themselves breaks the silence. Ecotech has also mentioned on facebook that they "have lots of new innovations coming this year" Link to comment

GHill762 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 here is my guess, the "leaked" images are a marketing ploy while the real new pump is waiting to be revealed. if you go by their facebook, they stated they have "a policy of not commenting on products which may or may not be currently in production." and let's be honest, you think they're going to let product beta testers leak a bunch of stuff on the forums? my guess is a marketing gimmick.
