They can do all the studies they want, I have had Both kinds of Pumps and I'll stick with my Vortechs! Thank You!!! Not that Tunze's are not good pumps just like the Wave ability on My Eco-Smarts along with some other features the Tunze's do not have,

I have seen several tanks with the Wave Box and If you want the Big Box in your tank i see no reason to take up all that space when the MP40's will do better with no taken space. JMO

This was a reactionary response to the study that came out a couple of months ago. Kinda seems defensive a little...huh?

That was a cool video. Very interesting. Owning neither if the two I would b curious how the much less espensive korakia stacks up. Yes the vortex do have some really great features I have yet to fully justify the cost in my current setup.

I've got a nano wavebox on my 120. The constant, natural flow it provides, along with a vortech or two can't be beat.

I have a nano wave box on my 150 and get a 2" wave something a a single vortec can't do.
Being a former owner of 4 vortecs I would never own a vortec pump again as it is a faulty design. There is no way to get the magnets to perfectly align that is why people go through wet sides and bearings.

I use the Vortechs and there are some things that I really love about them. I have been very impressed with how much wider the flow is then with other pumps. I know Tunes and vortechs are both stupidly expensive pumps. Having said that I will likely continue to buy the Vortechs again. Like poolkeeper has alluded to, I love the various wave patters and other features that this test does not address at all. The other thing that I have noticed is that the flow is much wider across the total tank with the Vortechs as compared with other pumps I have used. With pumps synced up you can do some things that start to really replicate the natural flow in the sea. It is the total flow and current in the tank. the absence of dead-spots that I like about my Votechs. I am not saying that tunze are not great pumps I just happen to like the functionality and features of the Vortechs.

I've had vortechs pump for about 5.5 yrs now 2 still have the same wetside. I don't think anyone bet or come close to there customer service. Tunze is a good company and make alote of good items for our hobbie. But vortech pumps are better for the money. Just my 2cents.
