Flow??? MP10??

[chuckstyl5]

I have a 72 bow and was curious what you guys thought of having 2 MP10's on the tank --- one on either end so i get different flow direction? Or do you think that is overkill and should I just use 2 koralia 3's?? Thanks guys ... decisions decisionsss

two mp10s would be nice tho they cant communicate with one another say like to mp 20 and 40s but it should make a pretty wild turbulant current ideal for a reef tank

I have an mp20 and an mp10 in my 65- have the 20 on the right wall and the 10 on the back wall I dont think 2 10's would be overkill

I like the idea of 2 MP10 because they dont take up to much tank room unlike the koralias just wanna make sure the flow will be good --- im going with a lil mix of everything in the tank SPS LPS and some softies.

I had one mp40 on my 72gal and it was perfect

Flow would be awesome the 10's can move up to 1575 GPH and the 20's move up to 2000 GPH so even if you go with 2 10's youll be moving 3150 GPH.

I had an mp20 and a Tunze 6025 on my 72 bow when it was setup. I would personally go with an MP40w over 2 mp10's. You're going to get lots of different opinions on this though. 2 mp10's isn't a bad idea.

what do you plan to keep in your tank? if a 72 bow is a 4 foot tank maybe you may want to go with mp 20 or 40 instead. i had a 40 gallon breeder mixed reef with a mp20

I am running a 10 and a 20 on my 72 bow. I can't even put them up fully. Many people advise one 40. I actually would go with 2 10's only because the flow tapers off near the middle if you have one powerhead.

2 MP10's should cover enough and if you placed one lower than the other it creates a nice crossflow.

it would be a pretty mixed reef tank --- SPS some LPS and softies

You never know, maybe you will upgrade and all you would probably need is another MP40 - I have 2 in my 90 reef, if I want to upgrade to a 120 I'm all set.
