Hey guys just wanted to know all yous that own mp's what mode do yous keep it on and why? Just trying to see whats the best mode to keep it on i currently use the short pulse mode
Have you run in reef crest or lagoon modes? The short pulse wave is neat, but my sps LOVE the more natural randomness of the smart modes.I have a single mp40 on my 90G. I have about a 1-1.5" standing wave in short pulse mode which provides plenty of flow for my sps on the top half of the tank. I keep it about 5" from the surface so it doesn't blast my stringy lps on the sandbed.
Thats how I have my 2 pumps running right now since the mp20 has no wireless capability. All my sps seem happy with it. The helfrichi isnt too pleased right now however... Once I do upgrade the 20, I plan to anti-sync in reef crest around 60% on both to calm things down a bit without giving up too much flow and see if my corals like it.I run my 2 MP40s in random mode which switches between lagoon and reef crest at 100% maximum output and synced. I am starting to think that it would be better to remove the slave/master agreement and run them both on random for maximum randomness. Thoughts?

Might have to see your tank soon.. Just can't understand why have 2 vs 1.. But don't want to get off track with the threadI have a single mp40 on my 90G.

LOL!!! Wouldn't that be the same if it bounces back from the wall of the other side?2 = Anti-sync. As one slows, the other ramps up, creating alternating direction of flow.
MP40s have an effective stream distance of 3' (MP10 is around 30"). Not an issue in FishBeard's 2' cube but in a 4' tank you really need 2 to get full flow in both ends of the tank.LOL!!! Wouldn't that be the same if it bounces back from the wall of the other side?
Would a MP40 and MP10 work in a 75gal?MP40s have an effective stream distance of 3' (MP10 is around 30"). Not an issue in FishBeard's 2' cube but in a 4' tank you really need 2 to get full flow in both ends of the tank.
Sweet!!! Thanks!!For an SPS tank? I would do 2 MP40s. For LPS/Softies and maybe a frag or 2 an MP40 and MP10 would be fine.
