Good info on those. 🤙 on another note, your bird is dope af!
Been looking at these pumps for a while. I really like all my Reef Octopus stuff. You're the first person I know that has installed them. Thanks for the review.
Couldn't be happier, I just order the hydros wave engine to run these too! Can't wait to set it up! 🦉🍻
@@angryowlaquariums40 Do you happen to know if you can hook up a battery backup to them???
Looks like they are with the icecap battery backup 👍🦉🍻
@@angryowlaquariums40 Perfect that's what I have the Icecap battery backup. Thanks again.
what size tank? I have 2 octo pulse 4's on my 6' 125 and they're way too strong. blows the coral to bits on only 4 out of 10 setting. I'm using only one octo pulse 4 now, just one on one end.
How are the pumps perfoming? Seriously considering buying one.
Would be awesome if you did a review with them hooked up to the Hydros.😉 Im actually leaning toward either 4 octopulse 4’s or 2 octopulse 4’s and 2 octopulse 2’s. I’m thinking four of the 4’s might be too much for a 210. Was going to run the wave engine also.
I actually just installed the hydros Sunday. So far I really like it but setting up is a huge learning curve and slightly misleading. Essentially you run the pumps at 50% power (in terms of watts, max 32 watts for these pumps) you need to set the max speed to 75%. There are some other finicky aspects but I can make a video for sure! Also, my tank is a 230 so I don't think its too much for a 210 but you can always start with 2 and get more! 🦉🍻
Yeah, I’ve been watching every coralvue video I could find on UA-cam about the wave engine. Setting presets, triggers, modes, blah blah blah. Seems a little tricky how the app works. I’m sure it would take some tinkering to get everything figured out. I guess I’ll find out! The ability to eliminate power bars and controllers is a huge plus!! It’ll be a while before the 210 is set up, so I’d be super curious about your review on the hydros!😃
are you still running these pumps? I have a red sea 650 peninsula and I am not happy with my Gyres so looking at options.
Yes sir, still running and still as the day I installed them... and that's impressive to me because I go months between maintenance. I would recommend them, especially when paired with the hydros wave engine 👍🦉🍻
Regarding noise, the MP40 compared with the Octo Pulse, may you give your opinion?
Honestly I can't remember the mp40s at this point but I can say I don't even notice my octos. I have a gyre on my frag tank and I want to destroy it, piece of junk is so loud. 🙄🦉🍻
Nice video found
👍🦉🍻
dang i like those
Dang me too 🦉🍻
Damn those ear muffs! MP40’s are overpriced... I have maxspect 280 gyre and almost dead silent. Think I will try these 👍
😂 yea plenty of people have better luck with their gyres, just not me lol the octos have been going strong and the performance doesn't degrade as quick from me neglecting them 😂🦉🍻
I never understood the appeal of ecotech pumps. You can't point them, they're expensive, and I've heard of the magnets leaching metals into the water. These pumps look pretty good! 👍
The shafts also rust over time. The positive of the mp40 was not having the heat of the pump inside the tank. Which for most people isn't an issue because their tanks run cooler 🤷♂️🦉🍻
@@angryowlaquariums40 yeah, I feel like if the pumps give off heat that takes some of the load off of the heater which is bound to fail eventually. Maybe if you were running a deep water system or jellyfish.
@@Algaewarrior Exactly!
Hi, What is the size of your tank please ?
230g, 72x30x25 🦉🍻
@@angryowlaquariums40 tanks a lot. Great tank by the way. Are you happy with the ocoto P4 pumps ?
Thank you! I'm extremely happy with them, haven't had any issues a year into use and the flow is very good. I use them on the hydros wave engine which eliminated the requirement for the controllers. You can buy just the pumps for cheaper if you plan to use the hydros. 🦉🍻
I would lose 50% flow in the lastest Gyres in less than 2 weeks after cleaning, very dissaspointed with the performance . I switched to MP40s.
Good choice! The gyres are not good, mp40s are much better and not a bad option of course. Just not worth their value IMO! 🦉🍻
@@angryowlaquariums40 what about the gyre from red sea?
Bro u got a algea problem that's why you're pumps ain't working right nice reef tank thow but do your self a favor and soak your pumps in some citris acid get a uv and lower your lights for a bit
Haha yea this wasn't even the worst of the algae problems. Tank has come quite a long way though, check out my most recent update if you're interested! I actually ended up doing nothing for the algae issues and it naturally went away. I've been super pleased with this Octo pulse pumps though 🦉🍻
Not having cord in water is still better too me
I'd say not having the heat in the tank is the real advantage. If you notice the cords then you gotta add some more corals or better fish 😂🦉🍻
Agreed just got rid of my octo 2s for mp10s. Not having the cords in the tank is a much nicer look.... oh and to his rude reply.. I have plenty of coral in my tank. I stopped watching this video after 30 seconds. Check out BRS videos for a more insightful explanation
Thanks for the view, I couldn't care less which pumps you use 🤷♂️
“Doesn’t give a shit about anything” I really want a leopard wrasse cuz of your ass. Watched this video again cuz I’m picking up an octo 4 today.
I love the leopard! Get one for sure! Also watch out with the octos...I heard having a cord in the tank is really distracting 😂😒🦉🍻
Angry Owl Aquariums ha!! Was gonna ask you how you’re still feeling about that pump. How about the performance? Yeah yeah.. the cord complaints are old news. I still prefer gyres over earmuffs.
I love them, I added the hydros wave engine and got rid of all the cords and controllers so thats a plus. Also there isn't as much performance reduction in a dirty vs clean pump. For instance I haven't cleaned the pumps in 3 month's or so.. I cleaned 1 as a test because the hydros measures rpm and there is only a 100 rpm difference which does not seem significant to me 🤷♂️
Angry Owl Aquariums right on. That’s good data. Have you seen OCTOs BS video that shows and says to only clean if with freshwater. I was like bruh.. in three months it’s gonna be covered in coraline and turds. No way freshwater is getting it clean. Lol
I use a heavy mix of citric acid and it melts super fast. Click the amazon affiliate link in the description and help me get rich 😂
These videos surely don’t move at the speed of sound. Nothing at all like a Bullet Train 😒
Well you have no reference how far it had to travel and sound really doesn't travel that fast 🦉🍻
Angry Owl Aquariums considering sound travels at 761.2 mph and a Bullet Train travels at 177 mph your audio should reach me faster than a bullet train no matter where I am.
It had to travel bery far though
Angry Owl Aquariums 🤦🏼♂️
