Ecotech Vectra M2 - circulation pump (7500 l/h)

Ecotech Vectra M2 is a line of cutting-edge circulation pumps that set new standards for marine aquarium equipment. The smartest return pump in the world can be scheduled to run, wirelessly provide updates on its operation, and be automatically configured to work with a specific aquarium setup. The flow rate of the Ecotech Vectra M2 model is 7500 l/h. The pump has many advantages: it can be set for automatic tank calibration. As a return pump, this smart feature prevents back siphoning when the pump is turned off and ensures a neutral flow in power mode. At the same time, all Vectra pumps are compatible with ReefLink. ReefLink provides completely wireless access to EcoSmart Live, EcoTech Marine's online aquarium command center. Vectra pumps are compatible with the EcoTech Battery Backup accessory.

Flexible Installation

The Vectra pump comes with QuickCouple components; these tailored connectors provide flexibility, making installation, cleaning, and adjustment a breeze. Vectra also offers the ability to rotate the pump's spiral to adapt to the needs of the hydraulic installation.

- Easy connection

- Quick setup

- Fast disassembly

- British standard pipe threading

Compatibility with Battery Backup

In an aquarium without flow, fish and corals can start dying within 4-10 hours. The Battery Backup is insurance for your reef tank housed in an aluminum enclosure.

By adding battery power**, your tank is insulated from power outages, helping to protect your valuable investment and the inhabitants of your tank.

*Hours are estimated and may vary depending on battery life, pump mode, and other factors.

** For optimal performance in return pump configuration, a Vectra battery backup amplifier is required.

The Advantage of Vectra

- Cost savings
- Active feedback
- Quiet operation
- Controllability

Traditional AC pumps used as return pumps for sumps are controlled by flow using a throttling valve. This method of control is inherently inefficient for two reasons. The purchased AC pump often needs to be oversized for a given setup to ensure flexibility, and by adding artificial impedance to the flow, electrical energy is wasted. The Vectra pump will always operate at optimal efficiency as there is no need to use a flow restrictor valve to achieve the desired flow rate.

When connected to ReefLink, the Vectra pump can send performance and status alerts directly to your mobile device or computer. Your return pump is the heart of your aquarium; the sooner you hear about an unexpected problem, the more successful you will be as an aquarist.

Circulation pump modes
- Constant speed: The constant speed mode is the default mode of the Vectra, which causes the pump to generate flow at a constant speed set by the position of the dial.

- Feed mode: With the press of a button, the Vectra pump will temporarily pause the current mode and idling, allowing you to add food to the tank without going to overflow and filtration.

- Speed Lock: Speed Lock allows you to lock in the desired pump speed by turning off the control dial, protecting against accidental and not-so-accidental unwanted speed changes.

Closed loop modes

- Random Lagoon: The Random Lagoon mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment. The pump speed changes slowly to recreate gentle lagoon currents.
- Reef Crest Random: The Reef Crest Random mode simulates a high-energy reef environment. The pump will frequently and drastically change speed, simulating crashing waves and tides. This is a favorite among SPS corals.
- Gyre: The Gyre mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform flow levels in a clockwise and counterclockwise motion, pulsing at a selected interval from two seconds to two hours.
