An MP20's flow will be the same as an MP40w turned down, so you should be able to test if it will be desirable for your tank. You will not, however, have the benefit of being able to wireless sync an MP20 to your MP40w.

Turned down by how much?

 

[EcoTech Marine]

About two thirds (2000 vs 3200 gph).

Hi Tim,

I want to verify the MP20 has a night mode. Your initial post to this thread indicates it does have a night mode, but the product page at the website does not list this feature: http://www.ecotechmarine.com/products/mp20.php

Can you clarify for me?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Tim.
I have an MP40 that's about a year old and would like to upgrade to the new generation. What do I do? I am from Canada BTW.

would the mp20 or the mp40 be better for a 36"x12"x18"?

 

[EcoTech Marine]

Depends what you're keeping. If softies an LPS you could probably get away with an MP20, otherwise I'd recommend an MP40w.

Tim,

Do you guys have any experience or reviews from using the MP20 in a CADlights 39g Pro?

 

[EcoTech Marine]

An MP20 should be a great pump for a tank that size.

 

[austin93]

I know it is too small according to the specs, but I am really interested in the mp20. I have a 75 sps with minimal rockwork for an open look. I have mostly small colonies right now, but am in need of a new circulation system. Do you think that I could use the mp20 to get adequate flow for sps in my tank? I would have the long term goal of getting a mp40 eventually, but it just isn't in my budget at the moment. My wifes says the mp20 isn't either, but that is another story.

 

[jlemoine2]

I have the same qeustion as austin93. I'm considering two mp20's for a 75 gallon sps tank.

My concern with the mp40 is that it can kick up a lot of sand and does not seem to extend to the far end of a 48" tank... at least not enough to provide enough flow for sps on the far side (I have a friend with one). I know an mp20 would have the same problems reaching the far end, so that is why I'm considering two of them.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Two MP20's would be a good option for the 75gallon and would most likely achieve what you're looking to accomplish.

 

[austin93]

Could you just keep sps on the side of the mp20? Use the other side for something else like a ricordia and zoo garden?

 

[EcoTech Marine]

That's possible, but you'll have to experiment to know for sure.

 

[Thoro]

Would the mp20 be a good fit for the Red Sea Max and would the mp40w be overkill?

 

[Radar1]

MP40 would be way overkill for a Max. I have die off on my SPS that is right in front of my MP20.

 

[EcoTech Marine]

MP20 would be better for that tank.

I just bought an mp20 for my oceanic 24x18x21. This pump replaced 2- k2's that took up to much viewing space. So far I love the soft flow this pump gives out. Im able to get a 1/2 inch wave, which is so cool. Did I max out the size of waves I can make? I would like a 1 inch wave or 2.

Anyhow im pleased with my purchase, thanks Ecotech.

 

[EcoTech Marine]

That's probably what you'll get for a wave with an MP20, to get bigger you would need an MP40w upgrade.

 

[markandkristen]

any chance of the mp20 being able to sync with another 20 .. would love that technology
only because i keep mine at the back of the tank and only need the 2000 gph
