i think they're great. running 2 mp40es in a 150g, and it provides great wide flow. and im only running at 80%

The Gen2's can be had for around $250

It's an excellent pump which is why they can charge what they do for them. They also, in my experience, provide great customer support.

Couda, shouda, wouda!

I don't think one MP60 would have been the way to do it. Having mulitiple Mp40's gives you more spread and better options

I don't think my 24" deep tank would have handled the mp60, I have it pretty close to the surface (of the water) and it still creates a tornado in the sand bed. Can't run it on full high continually without sand going everywhere. I'm pretty sure the mp60 would have been far worse.
