Wondering 2 Vortech Mp 20's or 1 Mp 40?

baseballkid5 · Jan 10, 2010

Im debating on getting 1 Vortech Mp40 or Getting 2 Mp 20's. They will be on a Standard 75 Gallon Softy tank. I would put the 2 Mp20's on opposite ends of the tank or Obviously put the Mp 40 On 1 side. I have 2 K4's right now on the Back wall pointing at the sides of the Glass and it creates nice movement. But i dont like that its always the same flow unless i move them around. Im sure theres some reefers out there that have these pumps. Any Advice on where to put them in the tank and which set up you have or would get would be appreciated. If you have any Pics of your setup with the Vortech Pumps in your tank if you could post a picture that would be Awesome.
Thanks
Scott

I would go with the 40s. You can always turn the flow all the way down to 1000gph and is the same Fp as the 20. Well worth the extra money and if you upgrade down the road you don't replace them with bigger PH.

but he is only buying one 40. I would say the 40s if you were getting 2....otherwise I would think 2 20's for the antisync etc...

I have a 60 cube and run 2 mp10s flow is amazing. i have one high on one side and low on the other. Also if you go with the 2 mp20s you can upgrade them to mp40s later if you want. I run mine on lagoon mode full power and the night mode is nice too. Lotsa options with these powerheads if you can afford the expense i would highly suggest them.
