EcoTech Vortech MP10 Mobius Schedule

j.register3 · Sep 21, 2020

Hello all!

Just picked up an MP10 today & I’m curious how you guys are running your schedules?
Now I know this is all subjective due to tank size, livestock, preference, etc, but I’m just curious to see how everyone’s utilizing the modes!

Post pictures of your schedules here & what size tank you have! Include corals, fish, etc if you’d like

I have a 13.5 gallon nano & run it along the back wall. This is the schedule I’m starting with & will adjust accordingly. Let me know if you have any advice for the schedule, as I’m new to the product.
Here’s my schedule:

Hi,

I just added a second mp 40 to go with an older one I have. I have not checked out the Mobius yet. I was not sure if it was worth it so I was wondering what you thought about it. Was it easy to set up? The only reason I was thinking about it was to have it run a night schedule.

I have 2 MP40s in my 75g. Since my tank requires a lot of flow due to SPS, I’m using reefcrest program during daytime at 65% and lagoon mode at nighttime. I’m getting over 6,000gph of flow or over 90x turnover. I can’t go higher, otherwise my sand will move around

Honestly, it looks more confusing than it is. I’m a visual learner so I like being able to drag & drop the modes & adjust the levels. Personally, I find it very user friendly & useful!

Holy flow! Thats awesome & makes sense. I bet your tank is a beauty! It’s an all time goal of mine to start an SPS reef on a large scale like that

Mobius is okay.. but at the moment, updating firmware turns into a nightmare every time. Two times I've updated it in 2 months (The firmware for the pump) and I've had a lot of trouble reconnecting to the pump afterwards. Eventually you do but man is it a pain.
