MP40.........I finally broke down.

[cjrudy]

Well, I broke down and bought an MP40 for my 90 gallon reef. I'm replacing two 1025gph and one 750gph Koralia's which are only months old

So I was playing around all night, I really like Reefcrest but I'm not sure about Lagoon mode, its seems to just run at a constant speed.

Also trying to figure out the night mode, once its set does it tun on automatically or do I turn it on manually every night

Whats everyones favorite settings?

;D

You won't be disappointed! I love my mp40's. I run mine on either nutrient export mode or reefcrest. I like both settings, so I just change them every now and then for fun. I see no difference in my corals on either setting, I just like to tinker I guess. As for night mode, I never have set mine up. I just manually turn it down at night. No idea why I do this, I just always have. I need to set up my night mode, so I can see what it's all about

+1 on everything Bigwood said.

I don't turn mine down at night, is there a reason why? are you supposed to do this?

You don't have to turn it to night mode. I do just because the ocean is more calm at night and I want to tell myself I am trying to replicate nature. LOL

I have no set mode. I'll change to modes every now and then.

I run mine on reef crest. Then feed mode for feeding of course.

Got 2 in my 90 set to nutrient transport mode and both are on full blast. I never really understood turning them down to feed or at night though. Does the ocean change at feeding time or when its night time?

Now that you have one for your 90 you will want another!

I like reefcrest and also nutrient export mode.

 

[cjrudy]

I love it, I'm ready for a second one.

They are great power heads. they certainly keep the heat out of the tank and take up less real estate. I run mine on reef crest in anti-sync mode. The hardest part to overcome with these powerheads are the price tags.

I don't know if I would agree that the ocean is calmer at night but as far as the night mode, I never use it.
