wave on a 210

["L"]

How many MP40ws will it take to get a good size wave on my 210 (6 feet long)? I was thinking about 2 on each side but how would that work? If one side has a master pump and the slaves are set to antisynch only one pump (master) would be alternating?

I have a SPS system with a wavebox now but im looking to go Vortech as I saw 2 on a 4 foot tank not long ago and it was amazing.

You'd have 1 master, with the 2 on the same side set to sync and the two on the opposing side set to anti-sync.

IMO, depending on your rock work, you could probably get away with 2 pumps on a 6 ft tank.

I have a 3" wave going on a 180 at my LFS.

mrcrab's got it precisely right as usual.

+1, getting my 210 this weekend, and my upgraded and updated pump hopefully early next week.

pete keep us up to date on how it goes

 

[P.Kelly]

Will do, I'll be starting a thread in the Big Tank forum once I take delivery of the tank.

pete i was thinking 4 on the sides and 2 on the back

 

[P.Kelly]

I'm going to start with 2, 1 on each end and go from there. I'm personally not willing to spend $2500 on power heads for my tank.

yeah i understand i have 2 on my 120 and could use 1 on the back prolly so i know im going to need atleast 4 on my 210 i know im getting out of control lol
