VorTech QuietDrive pumps create broad, adjustable water movement with a wide range of flow modes for different reef tank needs, from gentle lagoon-style movement to high-energy reef crest flow and nutrient transport. Combined with QuietDrive performance, Mobius app control, MXM compatibility, and on-board controls, the VorTech QuietDrive gives reef keepers a flexible and refined way to create water movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes VorTech different from traditional powerheads is the magnetically coupled wet side and dry side design. The wet side sits inside the aquarium to move water, while the motor, power cord, and electrical components stay outside the tank on the dry side. Instead of placing the entire motor assembly underwater, the dry side magnetically drives the wet side through the aquarium glass. This keeps the in-tank footprint smaller, helps reduce heat transfer into the water, removes the need for a power cord inside the aquarium, and leaves less equipment visible inside the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMultiple Flow Modes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLagoon ModeLagoon Mode\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimulating a low-energy lagoon.

The pump changes speed frequently emulating crashing waves and tidal surges. This is a great mode for SPS corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGyre ModeGyre Mode\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniform circular flow creates motions that help transports water from one side of the tank to the other. With two pumps paired in Gyre Mode, you can oscillate between a clockwise and counterclockwise gyre that lasts from 2 seconds to 2 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShort Pulse ModeShort Pulse Mode\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrong short pulses that can be set at intervals of 0.2 seconds up to 2 seconds.

Phase one consists of wave motions to help stir up and suspend detritus while the second phase incorporates surging motions to help push particles towards the overflow and down into the filter system. This is our favorite mode and is especially great for sensitive corals like LPS and SPS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFunction Modes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeed ModeFeed Mode\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePause all of your wireless Ecotech Pumps at the push of a button.
