mp40 placement is creating mountain of sand in middle

imjedi76 · 07/16/2015, 11:32 AM

So I have 2xmp40wes on each side of the tank. Issue that I am having is that it is creating a mountain in the middle of the tank. essentially creating craters in the front and back of tank except only its piling up in the middle. does anyone have any recommendations? Tank is 48"x24"x20"

Move the pumps to a new spot or put the modes in anti sync mode so they aren't fighting each other.

I had this same problem on mine I turned one to reef mode and one to lagoon

I had a similar problem on my 75G, which is 48x18x20 and I solved it by replacing my MP40 with two MP10's.
