powerhead question

Hi all I have a 75g with a k4,k3,k1 currently but I need more flow. Am I better off with putting an mp10 with my k4 or buying another k4 and wave timer. I am trying to reduce all the clutter in my tank.

I would recommend an mp10. Don't have one been seen people that do and they are sweet.

I was thinking one mp10 on one side with my return and then a k4 on opposite side

I'd go for an MP40 with the k4 then you can dial it back and keep the clutter down in the tank!

Would love to dustin but I am on a budget. If I get the mp10 there will be upgrade later but either mp10 addition or a k4 with wavemaker is my only affordable choices at moment.

I wouldn't get an MP10. Just too weak for a 4' tank. MP40 is the proper choice. If you're on a budget, save up and buy it later. doing it right the first time saves you money in the long run.
