Vortech MP40 powerhead - noise level.

Vortech MP40 pump running with all other tank equipment off except for skimmer (Bubble Magnus NAC 7 ). It's just a tad bit louder than what the video shows. It can be heard from at least 15ft away, especially during ramp ups.

Hi, it is noisy or not?

[kudozza]

@prindone Yes, when compared to Tunze or even the Koralia Evolution 1400. You can hear it rev up and down.

@319PurpleHaze

I was planning on doing more SPS in the future and read about the need for more flow. I've gotten my pumps used. The mp40 is wicked strong from my 90g 4ft long tank. I have it turned down to a little above half on reef crest mode. The Evolution I have on wavemaker via reef keeper lite.
