mp40 question

[javiersito91]

Would 4 mp40's be too much for a 5ft tank?

I would think 4 would be overkill. you could do 2 mp40's on the sides and 2 mp10's on the back.

 

[javiersito91]

So i should just get 2 more mp10's i already got 2 mp40's

Personally, I'd go with the 40's and see how they do before i added anything else.

Ima go with the 4 mp40's i can always turn them down

i have 2 40's in my 75, they have to be at pretty much 0% all the time cuz my clam, still moves more water than regular P/H's on a good day

Well if you get 4 and you only use 2 you still have 2 to use later. IMO I would save the cash and use it on livestock. Great pumps you will not be disappointed.

I'd go for the 2 tens but 40 can always be used on upgrades in future..

If price is not an issue add more 40's and dial them down. Wider flow, better undertow and turned down will produce much less noise and dry side heat/wear than cranking up the 10's to get equal flow.

Why not just upgrade to a bigger model (MP60) and sell the ones you have? I thought 2 MP40 was good for a 5ft tank

 

[javiersito91]

how bout an mp60 and 2 40's?

 

[Lil BamBam]

What are you trying to accomplish? Im not sure why you need more power vs what you have right now if ran at 100%..

IMO, save the money and by some SPS down the road

 

[javiersito91]

more flow lol i know u need crazy flow for sps i mean right now water moves like crazy but tought i needed more and with the 220 upgrade coming soon

 

[FishBeard]

I don't find it so crazy, I ran 2 mp40's on my 24" cube for SPS and had them cranked up to the point the didn't blow the sand all around.

LOL!!! Ok, I thought you were going MP crazy like some members that I know Makes more sense now....

 

[FishBeard]

Guilty as charged. :-(

I think 4X MP60's will do the trick

seriously, save the money, maybe add one MP40 to the back glass, then you can get a gyre going with the 3 working in concert.
