Vortech Mp 40

I was thinking about one of these for my 40 breeder and then saw someone selling one saying it was too much flow for their 40 breeder. My tank will be mostly sps. opinions?

The pump flow is highly adjustable, you should be fine.

I cant for the life of me figure why people don't turn down the pump speed. All the Vortech pumps have controllable speeds. Most people in this hobby go bigger with their than smaller upgrading. Go with the mp40, you'll love it.
