MP40w ES

Koddie Doo · 05/02/2010, 07:29 PM

How many of these should I have a 75 (mostly softies). I have 2 SEIO 820's (back top right and back top left) 1 SEIO 620 (back Bottom right) and a maxi 1200 (back bottom left pointed at the fron with a mag 5 for my return from my sump. How many of these can I get rid of if I get 1 MP40, or 2 MP40's or 1 MP40 and 1 MP10??

Or should I keep my SEIO;s and add a wavebox?

I replaced 5 koralia's with to 40's in a 75. They were 2-3's, 1-4 , 1-2 & a nano.

The "dry side" is not water proof I assume, I would love to put the wet side in the tank and the dry side in the overflow

Nope, sorry. Dry side is just that, dry.

IMO if you don't plan to keep SPS, one MP40-ES should be more than enough. You can also do two MP10's (scrapping the 40) for alternate flow!

I ran a 65g tall with just one MP20 and was quite happy with it. Now I have a 125g with an MP20 and an MP40. The 40's are way louder then the 20's IME.

You would be able to get rid of all of the other powerheads with a single MP40 IMO, really depends a lot on your stock and your tank to say for sure though.
