Quiet drive MP 40 for 75 gal?

ice fish · Mar 25, 2015

Just curious if this will give me enough flow for my 75 or if i should have another powerhead with it. Thanks.

I think it will do just fine. I have a mp10 for a 40g breeder and it pushes all the way across at around 70%. I have two koralia nanos under the rockwork in the back to eliminate dead spots. Is it a standard long 75g?

The mp40 will give you good flow for a 75.

I have two mp40qd's on my 6ft 150g and it is running 80% max.

I got an MP40 & MP40QD on my 125g, honestly the QD coul d prob do the job on my tank by itself. They say its suppost to be 40% stronger I don't know a/b that but side by side it's noticeably stronger. It'll work good for you.

I run a mp40 and a big gyre pump as well. Tank is 75 gal sps focused.

What do you plan on keeping in there?

Then I would think the single mp40 would more than suffice.
