MP10 on Marineland 93 or 70 gallon cube

qn5reef · 01/13/2010, 01:45 AM

I am wondering if MP10 can be used for Marineland cube 70 or 93. I can't seem to find any information on the thickness of glass used. any info?

I think you will need more flow than the MP10 (I'm assuming the 70 and 93 is gallons, but might not be). I just ordered an MP20 for my 29g sps tank. You should go with the MP40.

Specifications
Flow: 200 to 1575 gph
Wattage: 8 to 18 watts
Maximum Tank Thickness: 3/8″
Appropriate Tank Size Range: 2.5 to 50 gal
Dimensions: Wet Side- 2.5″ diameter by 1.5″ long, Dry Side – 2.5″ diameter by 2″ long
Clearance Needed Behind Aquarium: 2.25″

I would think that a 70 or 93 uses glass thicker than 3/8"

I agree with going with the mp40 if the numbers you have listed are the tank gallons

Thanks guys!!. I wanted to have 3 MP10s or 2 MP20s for the Marineland cube when I set it up soon. MP40 should provide enough flow but I just don't like to rely on one equipment for the flow and from the threads I have read, Vortechs breakdown time to time.
