How is my flow? MP10 Placement?

[LordNecro]

So just got coral yesterday and have been playing around with my mp10 placement. I currently have it on reefcrest 30% power. Is the flow ok? Should I move the mp10? Not planning to add sps, but am planning to add corals for the sandbed like acans or micromussa.

Looks like there is a good amount of flow, just be careful not to directly hit the corals with flow.

Thanks! Yeah, it was directly on my two torches in the front before so I knew I had to move it.

I have a original mp10 and love that thing. Great powerheads.

Yeah I love mine as well. Lots of other nano owners for my tank use one and say it’s overkill, but just want to make sure my coral grow and thrive. I know that flow is pretty important so I’m trying to get the best placement for the mp10 for my scape

Is your tank an all in one? Or is the back open? Just curious because I have a mp40 on my back wall and it’s a super clean look and creates awesome flow.

Yep, I also have a mp40 on my back wall and it spreads the flow all around the tank. I even forget that I’m using one lol since it’s hidden at the back.

It’s an all in one, the Red Sea max nano to be specific. Don’t think I can fit it on the back wall. I was considering another power head maybe on the other side to make the flow more random and reduce dead spots but like I said I was told the mp10 was overkill already

I have mine set up on my apex to turn on every 15 minutes and run for 10 minutes love the flow it brings in my tank.

What percent are you running it at now?

 

[LordNecro]

What percent are you running it at now?

Reefcrest 30%, planning to increase it as the coral grow

I was deciding whether or not I should get an apex as my tank has a bunch of high end coral but decided not to as I feel it would be too confusing

Nice, I run it all the time since I just started to have sps. I‘m using reefcrest at random power during the day (max is at 50%) and lagoon at random power during the night (max is 50% too).

How do you have the option for random power and to change modes?

They are extremely simple to operate with the basic functions!

Are you running mobius?

 

[LordNecro]

Are you running mobius?

No, it’s an app right? I’m only using the physical controls on the mp10. I thought they didn’t have app support yet?

I did it through the Mobius app

It’s up and running now should be able to use it I use with it and through the apex.

If your pump is manufactured after 2018, then you can have an app, but you would need to update your pump first in the app.
