MP10 question

[jhoff]

Hi all,
I have a quick question was wondering if the vortech MP10 would be enough flow for my 46gal bowfront also useing a magdrive 9.5 with a sea swirl wavemaker for my return the tank has sps and a few soft corals..

Two would probably be better; one on each side. Plus, that way you wouldn't have to jack the power up on just one. They get notably hotter and noisier if turned way up. I have an MP10 and as yet have only experimented with it on a regular 10g tank. Seems to have very good flow.

I have my MP10 on a 34 gal Solana and it replaced two K-2's. Works great! It is rated up to 50 gal and has a rating of 1575 gph, so that is about a 30x turnover. I like to target 40x turnover which you probably have including your magdrive. I cannot run mine on full power in the Solana and keep it at about 60-70%.

I would give it a try since I have not found the reviews of the MP20 to be near as positive as the MP10 or MP40W.

You might check the Echotech Marine forum to see what others are doing.
