EcoTech Marine has set new standards for equipping saltwater aquariums. The Vectra is no exception. The world's smartest return pump can run on a schedule, provide you with operational updates wirelessly, and be automatically configured to work with your specific aquarium setup.
Calibration
The Vectra can be set to calibrate automatically on your tank. As a return pump, this smart feature prevents back siphoning if the pump is stopped and also provides a neutral flow condition in feed mode.
ESL via Mobile Device
All Vectra pumps are compatible with ReefLink. Reeflink provides fully wireless access to the world of EcoSmart Live, EcoTech Marine's online aquarium control center.
Battery backup
Snow storm. Hurricane. A motorist hits an electric pole. Things are happening. The power goes out ... Vectra pumps are compatible with the EcoTech Battery Backup accessory.
Flexible installation

Compatible with back-up battery
In a no-flow aquarium, fish and corals can start to die in as little as 4-10 hours. The backup battery is reef insurance in an aluminum case.
By adding the battery backup **, your tank is isolated from power outages, helping to protect your valuable investment and the inhabitants of your tank.
* Hours are estimated and vary based on battery life, pump mode and other factors.
** For best performance in the pump return configuration, a Vectra Battery backup booster is required.
The Vectra advantage
Cost savings
Traditional AC pumps, when used as a return pump for your sump, are flow controlled using a throttle valve. This method of control is inherently ineffective for two reasons. 1) The purchased AC pump often needs to be too powerful for your given setup in order to allow flexibility. 2) By adding artificial impedance to your stream, electricity is wasted. The Vectra pump will always operate at optimum efficiency as it is not necessary to use a flow limiting valve to achieve the desired flow rate.
Active feedback
When used with ReefLink, your Vectra pump can send you 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.
