Well, put the 6105's put in this morning. They are freaking awesome. No sound from ramping up and down. My tank is a ton quieter now. Need to get the wide flow guards, but I'm already in love with these pumps. They are a little big, but since they are on the back wall I stead of the sides, they don't seem all that big. I'll post a pic later.
ok well not to hijack this thread it's just easier to ask on this. Getting a tunze or mp this weekend. I have a reef angel that only requires a 10 dollar cable to control the tunze. It can also control an MP for 100 bucks. The MP doesn't take as much in tank room but is known to be a loud option. That's pretty much all I've gathered. So the tunze is cheaper on base price and cheaper for the controller. The mp has many qualities I like including the wireless. Based on that what would you recommend?
It really depends. If you are going to be able to run the MP's around 75% power or lower then they'll be quiet. If you don't mind hearing the humm they make while ramping up and down then you'll be fine that way as well.
I really like the tunze's as I moved from 2 pumps on the side of the tank, to 2 on the back glass. I can aim them and truely feel that I'm getting better flow. Feeding time shows this as well.

Agree with Drew. MP's are a good product, and have some neat built in features. I really like the aesthetics of them more, but it depends on your setup. A good friend of mine has the 40's and 10's on an Apex. It's easy to configure. I have a pair of 6095's on an apex. Hard to configure, but in the end, they are quiet, and they are pointed exactly where I want. Also, for my particular set up I could not use the MP's because it's a built in tank and there are walls on the wet side.
I wouldn't say that, lol. Just that you are limited to their pre-programmed patterns...but I think there are plenty to choose from.
If you get a chance to stop by this weekend before making your purchase you can mess with the MP10wes I have on the 20 long to see the different patterns. The major limitations with the bortechs IMO is placement and directing flow...depending on your tank's setup.

I am a fan of the MP's mostly from the flush look but not fond of the price I don't think I would ever buy a new MP but I have owned one and liked it a lot and people that didn't know much about saltwater always commented on how "cool" it was so just for "cool" factor go MP all day everyday!!!
