Depends. You're getting less than $100 worth of component parts for $400. There really arent many other options is the problem, so it's more of a compared to what question. Tunze is way better than Ecotech if you want to push water over distance. Your tank being 5' I'd probably go with Tunze over Mp40. My tank is 7' and I have 4 MP60s.. If I place my hand in the middle of the tank I can't feel any flow from the MP60s less than 4 feet away on max power. I highly doubt mp40s can push 5'. If you aren't growing SPS it probably doesn't matter, but then again why buy expensive pumps at all then? With the tunze pumps I can feel water movement 7' away at the opposite end of the tankI need some new pumps and I’m having a horrible time deciding.
I know many love the MP40s, but man, $500 a pop?! Are they really worth that crazy price tag?
The other pumps I’m considering are:
Maxspect 4000 gph Jump Gyres
AI Nero 5’s
Res Sea Reef Wave 45 Gyres
What say you?
My tank is 60”x24”x25”, 150 gallons.
