MP40 or MP10 for a RSR 350 tank

[Paleozoic_reefer]

Hi everyone. My icecap 3k finally gave out and now I need to replace it. I love gyres but hate the maintenance due to the wear and tear they go through, especially when on alternating flow mode. I wanted to try something different and either add a MP40 or a MP 10 to replace it but i'm not sure which would best suited for my tank size and setup. I have a bare bottom tank that is almost exclusively softies and they seem to enjoy the heavy flow. Which model would be best suited for me? Thanks in advance!

Beautiful Tank!
Though you probably dont need a ton of flow for your coral types, Id still probably go with the MP40 and just dial it down, so you have more flexability on flow. The MP40 is much more powerful than the 10...

My mp10s will not hold on 1/2 inch glass

@zatch Thanks! I also think the glass is too thick for the MP10, but not sure of that either.
