Take total control of your reef's water movement with the EcoTech Marine VorTech MP40mQD QuietDrive, the gold standard for serious reef keepers. Its propeller sits low-profile inside the aquarium while the motor stays outside on a magnetic mount, delivering up to 4,500 gallons per hour of broad, natural flow at near-silent volume. Engineered for high performance and unmatched versatility, it is everything you need to keep corals thriving in tanks up to 500 gallons. Strong Flow, Whisper-Quiet QuietDrive technology tunes the motor and software together for smooth, near-silent operation. Whether you are creating a gentle current or a high-energy wave, the MP40mQD delivers reliable, powerful flow that keeps detritus in suspension and feeds your corals without the hum or rattle of traditional powerheads. Motor Outside, Propeller Inside The magnetic coupling design keeps the motor and electronics out of the water. That means no cords cluttering your aquascape, less heat transferred into the tank, and quick, tool-free cleaning. The wet side mounts cleanly to glass and acrylic aquariums.
