Absolutely! I wish it was as easy as dropping a pump in the tank and walking away, but it's apples and oranges when it comes to performance. Here are my observations of the MP60...
The display tank they had it on was filled with semi-flat, semi buoyant plastic polymers. The polymers are very easy to keep in suspension, unlike detritus which is much smaller and heavier/more dense. The tank only had about 50 gallons of water but the MP60 still had difficulty keeping the plastic beads suspended. They would tend to settle at the far end and slowly get picked up from time to time.
I couldn't tell how noisy the pump was but the smaller units are already loud when on pulse so it could only be worse. The guy at the booth said they had to use smaller plastic beads because the MP60 couldn't circulate them through the impeller shroud the way the smaller units could.
The pump was able to make a wave at the surface, but I don't see a benefit to this effect unless the wave is experienced lower where the corals are. According to the Tunze distributor for North America, the official Tunze position is that a wave device that makes surface waves will shorten the life of a glass tank by 10-15%. For example, a typical tank will last 20 years, but with surface waves it will last only 17 years. A lower quality tank or one that has a flaw would be of greater concern. I don't like the look of rhythmic wave devices that have a uniform sway. The pattern is easy to spot and looks unnatural. Reefs in the wild have a sway that varies in duration and intensity with longer spiral swirls, rather than short choppy movements.
The MP60 fails to deliver on some of the key flow dynamics. They do not move low oxygen water from the bottom up to the surface for gas exchange. Instead they move water from side to side with only passive gas exchange as 50% of the water moves toward the surface after crashing into the end wall. True laminar flow is picked up by an intake at the opposing end of the tank, not drawn from behind the pump. The MP60 pushes water across the tank and pulls intake water back against that flow, usually around the margins.
If the pump is positioned within 6" of the substrate it will turn the sand and dig holes. This higher placement allows detritus to settle in the substrate. The end to end flow also pushes detritus into rock work rather than suspending it gently where it can be made available to coral polyps. If the pump is too close to the surface (<6") it will cavitate (create a vortex) and draw air into the water. While the display tank had surface waves, it didn't wave eddies of ripples that encourage gas exchange and a shimmering effect.
Another issue I have with stream pumps in general is they do not deliver even flow over the length of the tank. Many have suggested stream pumps for Peter's tank, but none have a solution for providing moderate flow over 16'. The first 2-3' will bow corals off of the rocks, and the last 2-3' will receive diminished flow. On top of this, we would need one on each side of the rock work as it is a two-sided tank. Unlike closed loops systems that can be adapted to reef formations, stream pumps are limited to 90˚ mounts at the ends of the tank. Once you add your reef structure, the flow dynamics are purely random and uninspired.
While we do have four oversized strainers on the intakes of the closed loops, we do not have any moving parts in the tank. The screens around the MP60 are substantially smaller and I would suspect are shrimp and anemone grinders. They would be fine for a fish only tank with larger fish though.
The smaller Vortec models were displayed with two per (smaller) tank. This worked much better as one could be located at the top and the other at the bottom on the opposing end. The MP60 should have been set up like this but I can see why they didn't want to illustrate that it takes two $700 pumps to move 50 gallons of water
If I had to use an MP60, I would put it close to the bottom and use flat rocks to keep it from disturbing the sand (or make a concrete substrate). Then I would locate the return from sump at the opposing end at the surface to make a somewhat circular flow and good surface disruption.
They sound like a good idea for deeper tanks where standard 54 watt T5s only illuminate the first two feet.
