Vortech Powerhead questions Reefer 250

[mcidcbcmd]

I just picked up a Red Sea Reefer 250 - I'm looking to get beginner corals like zooanthids and some mild flow corals....My question is should I run one MP40 or two MP10's? What are you guys running on this tank? Don't want to over spend but want whats best to avoid issues later.

Thanks

the glass is thick enough on the RS Reefers that it would be better to have the MP-40's. There are a few that have had issues with the MP-10 falling off.

I ran two mp10s on a 75 gal with success, but if you can afford the extra for the 40's you won't have to run them as hard.

What did you end up going with? Having the same debate... was one MP40 enough flow?

I've a reefer 250 and I run 1 x mp40 in reefe crest mode at about 50-60% Any higher and it starts blowing sand around. I am looking to get another actually because with only one, the flow tends to be more directional rather than random. So if I 2 of them I could alternate the flow...but one mp40 is nice for that tank.

Sounds like an mp40 is the way to go, thanks!
