2 MP10s or 1 MP40?

[C.Ton9187]

FWIW I have 2 mp10's on my 20l. One is set at 40% and the other at 50% one each side of the tank, both are on reef crest mode majority of the time. I had 1 mp10 set at 100% and after hitting the rocks and corals, witch was mostly in the middle, the flow slowed down to were it seems to be, not dead but very slowly moving.


I love these things, awesome pumps.

MP40s have much better flow then the MP10s but I've always liked more than 1 pump for circulation so I'd say go with the 2 MP10s.

I can't get any wave action in my aquarium since i have a corner aquarium. The odd shape fits well into my room, but it makes water flow a pain. I have never been able to get any change in water flow direction since i have just 1 mp10, but a few aquarium stores have told me that it's not ideal, but as long as there's a change in speed I should be okay.

I use 2 mp10s on my cube, its only 30 gallons. I would use the 2 mp10s, a little more random flow along with no dead spots. You could always and a third, this is what Im doing when I up grade to my 75 gallon next weekend. I really love the pumps, I think I will save the extra 60 dollars and go with out the wireless model.

I wish I could afford a 75 gallon. I'm stuck with a 36 till collage starts, then adios aquariums.
