Tunze wave box, or Vortech MP40?

[moga]

i have 30x30x20 cube tank..

 

don't know whether i choose wave box or vortech..

 

what's your suggestion?

 

let me k now guys.~

I would go with a vortech.

 

The reason that I say that is because the wavebox is more difficult to set up on short tanks (I had some issues with mine, 36" tank, that I solved by swapping the controller out with a 7096, which can do a shorter pulse width). Also, I don't think the back and forth is quite adequate as a standalone flow. Finally, the vortech can be set up to do a wave if that is really what you want.

I dont think you could possibly go wrong with a vortech.!!

vortech. the wavebox is really designed for 4 ft or greater tanks. i loved mine and really will miss it with the downgrade in tank size. there is nothing like a tuned wavebox. it's the closest to real reefs in terms of wave action that i've seen.

you think one MP40 will do it on my tank dimension?

 

or should i Get two MP10?~

One mp40 should be good for that size tank. Also mp40 is good when you upgrading tank in a future.

I'd go with 2 MP10s instead. At least have a little redundancy when you're cleaning the pumps off. Also, I'd head out to that fish place if you can. They're doing a buy one get one half off (in store), so you should be able to get it both pumps for $417.36, and that's for the Wireless version. That'll save you $144 or so.

I had a 24" cube with two MP10's and loved the flow that I got with them .. they weren't wireless so I just made sure that I waited about 30secs before I turned the 2nd one on - gave me a little different flow like you get with anti-sync mode in the wireless ones.

 

Guy - is that 1/2 off (in store) good for anything ??? I'm stocking up on goodies for my 180 build and I think I could use two more MP40's .. or 60's if they have them !!!

I have the same tank Tony and have 2 MP10s. They are great but I dont think the flow is enough. I like them more than the MP40 though since u can place the MP10 is small and you can get 2 of them for different placements at the same price as a MP40.

Vortechs are soo much more controllable and smaller I run 2 mp 40s in my 210 and they are awesome.
