And here is a video of the test

So, I had a chance to check out the new QuietDrive MP40 and they are legit. Jets a graph showing the improvements in noise level. This test absolutely confirms EcoTech's 90% reduction in noise levels.

Oh, I screwed that up New Wet Side > increasearE durability New Dry Side > increased flow

If YOU upgrade everything but the dry side you would have improved durability and diminished noise. The only benefit you would miss out on without the dry side is increased flow. New QuietDrive > silent operation and increased efficiency New Wet Side > increased durability [edit] New Dry...

Looks life Reef Builders is saying the upgrades will be less than $100. That seems like a decent deal to me. Reef Builders article

By refining the way the motors are driven they are able to get it to run smoother. There are several new technologies out that are specifically designed to make brushless motors run smoother. Here is just one of the technologies: There are actually several other new technologies that refine...

correct

You are completely correct!

Very interesting stuff, it's amazing that this bigof an improvement is just coming along. We've had brushless DC motors for over 50 years and they're just figuring this stuff out? Just goes to show that there are still huge improvements to be made in all of our technology.

According to EcoTechs upgrade chart every component gives you some benefit: New QuietDrive > silent operation and increased efficiency New Wet Side > increased flow New Dry Side > increased durability

Yeah, no new alien technology on the dry side. The new MP40 is basically a shrunken MP60. From what I understand there were some improvements to the design of the dry side but nothing groundbreaking. When I said major hardware upgrade I meant in the driver only.

No, this is a major hardware upgrade. I'm sure the new driver hardware is faster many times over.

I agree, I'm 99% sure it's dinoflagellate. And... It looks like it's already out of control. The 100% definitive easy to know if it's dinos is to filter the algae through a filter sock into a bucket. Initially the water will just be brownish but after a few minutes the dinos will congeal back...

The QuietDrive technology is mostly coming from the driver. From what I understand, the MP10 and MP60 wet/dry sides have not changed at all. It is simply a change in the way the "drive" the motor. If I were to guess, they have probably refined their sine or square waves that the driver is...

I don't think there will be an exchange but there certainly will be an upgrade. The upgrade for the MP10 and MP60 will be a simple driver upgrade. The dry and wet sides on the MP10 and MP60 are essentially the same on the QuietDrive so this will be a very simple upgrade. The MP40 is...

Got it, I sent you a PM back.

This light is still available, make us an offer.

We have an open box Radion G3 Pro that we are selling for 20% off. This light was only turned on for less than a minute and is essentially brand new. $599

We have a bunch of nicely encrusted frags of mystic sunset for $20.

Here's a stand for Ian, you can check out his build thread here.
