EcoTech Marine VorTech MP10, MP40 & MP60 Anemone Guard & Flow Kit

Protect your livestock and choose how your VorTech moves water. This anemone guard replaces the stock cover on your EcoTech Marine VorTech MP10, MP40 or MP60 wet side, and three twist-lock nozzles let you change the flow in seconds: Vortex, Aim or Spread. Every order is the full kit.

How to order

1. Choose your powerhead: MP10, MP40 or MP60. Each kit is sized to fit that wet side.
2. Choose your color: Black, White, Blue, Red or Orange.

Installs in under a minute

1. Twist off the stock cover from your VorTech wet side.
2. Twist on the guard until it locks. No tools, glue or zip ties.
3. Lock a nozzle on top with a short twist, the same twist-lock style as our CaddyStack™ Modular Filter Tower.

Pick your flow

• Vortex: straight and strong. Full, focused flow straight off the pump. The swept-spoke grille keeps its natural spinning jet. The everyday setting.
• Aim: point it where it's needed. A hooded outlet turns the jet off-axis. Rotate the wet side on the glass to send flow up to ripple the surface, down across the sand bed or around rockwork.
• Spread: wide and gentle. A flared mouth fans flow into a broad, softer sheet. Good for anemones, softies and LPS that don't like being blasted.

Why reefers swap the stock cover

• Protects livestock. 35 swept intake slots help keep anemones, fish, snails and hermits away from the propeller while water still flows through.
• Subtle, clean look. Black disappears against a black wet side. White, Blue, Red and Orange stand out.
• Tool-free. The guard and nozzles twist on and off by hand, so cleaning and flow changes take seconds.
• High-quality, reef-safe plastic. Durable, saltwater-safe and made in Chicago.

FAQ

Which size do I need?
Check the model on your pump's label: MP10, MP40 or MP60.

Will it reduce my flow?
Any guard adds some restriction. The swept slots keep the intake open, and the Vortex nozzle gives the most direct output. Run your usual mode and adjust from there.

How do I clean it?
Twist it off, rinse it or soak it in vinegar or citric acid to remove coralline and biofilm, then twist it back on. Clean it whenever you clean the wet side.

Can I aim the Aim nozzle?
Yes. Rotate the wet side on the glass to point the outlet up, down or to either side.

Is it anemone-proof?
No guard is 100% anemone-proof. The narrow, swept slots make a much tighter barrier than the stock cover. Check it during regular maintenance.
