Stephen August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 I like lagoon mode. But I think it's more of a personal choice. Try them all and see which best suits your tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 Let us know how it works in your tank! I have been looking for an MP20 or MP40, but if your 10 pushes a lot of water, I may go for it instead. Hope it works well for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Camaron August 6, 2009 Author Share August 6, 2009 thanks stephen, i will try the algoon and see how it does. Stu, the mp10 definitely pushes plenty of water, but if your upgrading tanks in the future then get the 20 or 40. I dont see any upgrades for a while and even if i do it would only be a 50 or 60 which i would still be able to use this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amay121 August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 I'm in reefcrest. Tried lagoon, but didn't like it all that much. ReefCrest is extremely chaotic, which is kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boret August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 Any noticeable noise from the pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amay121 August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 In crest, mode. Not really, a small hum is all. But I'm contemplating on removing the 40 for some tunzes though. Not sure which route I'm going to go just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boret August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 I like the concept of the vortechs!! But i appreciate that my internal tunzes are virtually silent. If I could get the vortechs for $200 or less I wouldn't think about it... but I still think they are overpriced. Anyway, how would a MP40 perform in a 92gal corner tank?

amay121 August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 Look at the video on the first post and Sid's tank is a 144g corner. http://www.wamas.org/forums/index.php?show...&hl=vortech I can't believe that you ever missed this video that he made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boret August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 Now that you mention it I remember seeing it. Will a 1/4 circle change much the dynamics of the water movement? I just feel that 1/4 will have the vortechs facing the opposite front corner and will only reach corals as a rebound, I wouldn't mind "testing" one.

m3fan8ic August 6, 2009 Share August 6, 2009 I should update my post w/video... I had to put mj1200 w/mod kit on other end after 3 weeks or so.. I was getting some dead spots where green hair algea started growing.. but still MP40 is really powerful that I have it turned down a bit. I have a new video that I need to upload..I'll do that when i get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
