ok, so I am considering buying a vortech Mp40 so I was wondering if there were different kinds of Mp40's and if so which should I buy for my up and coming 120 gallon. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I would definitly be looking at the vortecs if I had a 120.

I have a vortex mp40w. By far the best purchase for my aquarium. I love the feed and reef crest modes.

get 2 of the mp40w ES its the newest one and from my understanding has had less issues then previous models

And they wirelessly can sync to other mp40's unlike the originals that had to be connected somehow to sync if I understand correct... but yeah if ur gonna do it do it right and get 2

W is for wireless as has been stated. Although I run 2 in my 100 you likely could get away with 1. With the new ES controller they have several new pre programmed modes. With 2 you can sync them together wirelessly so that when you change modes on one you change both. They also operate in a way that when one is going full blast the other isn't. You can create waves and such when you have two in operation. I have four running at the store and when I put one in feed mode they all go into feed mode automatically. Vortechs are a great investment for sure. I fully endorse the product.
