VECTRA VM2 - Mobius Ready DC Return pump (~7500l/h /~96W)

EcoTech Marine® has set new standards for equipment in saltwater aquariums. The Vectra™ is no exception.

The world’s smartest return pump can be run on a schedule, wirelessly give you updates on the operation and be automatically configured to work with specific aquarium setup.

Capability

Calibration

The Vectra™ can be set to auto calibrate to tanks. As a return pump, this smart feature prevents back siphoning if the pump is turned down and also provides a neutral flow condition in feed mode.

ESL via Mobile Device

All Vectra™ pumps are compatible with ReefLink. Reeflink provides completely wireless access to the world of EcoSmart® Live, the web-based aquarium command center from EcoTech Marine®.

Battery Backup

Blizzard. Hurricane. A motorist hits a utility pole. Stuff happens. The power goes out… Vectra pumps are compatible with the EcoTech® Battery Backup accessory.

Flexible Installation

Included with the Vectra Pump are QuickCouple components, these fitted couplers provide the flexibility to make installation, cleaning and adjustments a breeze. The Vectra also boasts the ability to rotate the volute of the pump to adapt to the needs of every plumbing setup.

• Easy Connection
• Fast Setup
• Quick Disassembly
• British Standard Pipe Threading

Return Pump Modes

Constant Speed

Constant Speed mode is the default mode of the Vectra, this makes the pump produce flow at a constant speed that is determined by the position of the dial.

Feed Mode

At the touch of a button the Vectra pump will temporarily pause the current mode and idle allowing food to be added to the tank without being cycled into the overflow and filtration.

Speed Lock

Speed Lock gives you the ability to lock in a desired speed on the pump by disabling the control dial protecting you from accidental and not so accidental unwanted changes in speed.

Closed Loop Modes

Lagoonal Random

Lagoonal Random mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment. The speed of the pump is changed slowly to recreate the gentle currents of a lagoon.

Reef Crest Random

Reef Crest Random mode simulates a high-energy reef environment. The pump will change speed frequently and drastically to simulate crashing waves and surging tide. This is a favorite of SPS coral.

Gyre

Gyre mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform clockwise and counterclockwise flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between two seconds and two hours.

An Ever Expanding Ecosystem

You’ve invested in your ecosystem with the smartest and most capable EcoTech® equipment. Now unlock the true potential of this system with nothing more than an app on a smart device.

The Vectra Advantage

• Cost Savings
• Active Feedback
• Quiet Operation
• Controllability

Traditional AC pumps, when used as a return pump for a sump, are flow controlled through the use of a choke valve. This method of control is inherently inefficient for two reasons:

• The AC pump purchased must often be overpowered for the given setup to allow for flexibility, and by adding artificial impedance to the flow, electricity is wasted.
• The Vectra pump will always operate at the optimum efficiency because there is no need to use a flow restricting valve to achieve your desired flow rate.

When used with the ReefLink, Vectra pump can send you performance and status alerts right to your mobile device or computer. Return pump is the heart of aquariums; the faster you hear about an unexpected issue the more successful you will be as an aquarist.
