So what`s new? The Vectra 2s have new:
Input and output couplers
Bases
Tougher motor sleeve
Improved thermal management
Ergonomic collars
The New Couplers
The Vectra 2s are still the same great modular pump that we have all come to love. Its new, robust, easy-to-turn grips make the couplers easier to remove, even under water. The standard PVC size also brings us one step closer to that clean PVC pipey, aesthetically pleasing install (instead of the basic vinyl hosing) we have all admired in other systems.

Battery Backup Compatible: In an aquarium with no flow, fish and corals begin to die in as little as 4 to 10 hours. The Battery Backup is reef tank insurance in an aluminum housing. By adding the Battery Backup, your tank is insulated from power interruptions, helping protect your valuable investment -and your tank inhabitants. The M2 will work with or without the VP013 Booster Accessory, though having it will provide overall better performance.
*Hours are estimated and will vary depending on battery life, pump mode and other factors.
The Vectra Advantage:
Cost Savings
Traditional AC pumps when used as a return pump for your sump are flow controlled through the use of a choke valve. This is method of control is inherently inefficient for two reasons.
1) The AC pump purchased must often be over-powered for your given setup to allow for flexibility.
2) By adding artificial impedance to your 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.
Active Feedback
When used with the ReefLink, your Vectra pump can send you performance and status alerts right to your mobile device or computer. Your return pump is the heart of your aquarium; the faster you hear about an unexpected issue the more successful you will be as an aquarist.
