Mp10 in a 75

[Jake1]

I have read that mp10 is good for up to 50gal. But do you think I will still get good water movement in a 4 foot 75? I had a mp40 to loud for me so I traded it off. I really liked the short pulse mode for the nice wave. Hoping that someone can tell me if i will still get a nice wave in the 75 with little noise.

I'd love to tell you that a mp 10 would be perfect for you, then sell you one. But IMO a mp 10 is not enough for a 4' tank.
I don't think 2 would be enough, but it also depends on what you want to keep.

I have two mp10's in my 55 and I often wonder if I should have gone with a MP10 and a MP40.

 

[Jake1]

Forgot to add a few things. The mp10 will not be the only flow I want it mainly for the wave from short pulse. I will be making the tank Sps soon. I have about 30x turn over with my power heads alone and about 900gph from my return pump.

For a 4 foot tank you need a MP 40.

 

[Jake1]

So you don't think one mp10 will make a wave at all?

It will just not a big one

Well I might as well get a Tunze wave box. Cheaper then a mp40

I have a friend that had two mp10's in a 55 and was way underwhelmed with them. Ended up selling them and just going with koralias.

Why not just get 2 tunze 6095?

I started off with one mp10 then went to 2 mp 10's then to get what I wanted I had to go with a mp40 and a mp10

I have one mp10 on 3' tank and plenty of flow for sure! On 4' prob need 2 but thinking tank thickness would be an issue. So magnet prob won't hold (then again I have an oceanic tank and believe they are thicker than other 75's not sure though)

 

[cparka23]

Before you go any further, double check the glass thickness. The MP10 is for glass thickness up to 3/8".

 

[Texasnano]

Yeah I have a oceanic (thick glass) they work on sides but not on back wall so well

 

[Jake1]

It's 1/4 inch thick

 

[Jake1]

I might try and trade a 48in blue reefbrite for a mp10 have one laying around

I have 2 mp10w on the back glass of my 75 and a koralia 4 at each end. It makes a nice wave in short pulse mode and breaks up the laminar flow of the koralias. I would not use the koralias if I didn't have sps.

 

[Jake1]

Thanks that helps out. I have a few 4s and a few mj and a Tunze

I have 2 Mp10's on one side of my 75, and 1 Mp40 on the other. I will try and get a picture and show you how I have them placed on the glass. I love the flow and so does all of my SPS. The 2 mp10s are on the lower half of the glass, and the mp40 is on the top half.

Took a quick picture with my phone.. here is what I was talking about. The effect on the aquarium is that of that entire wall is a powerhead covering that entire rock with random flow
