The MP20 has been discontinued by Ecotech but you can probably still find them used.

In a biocube, the mp10 is more than enough. They maintain a pretty good resale value so if you upgrade in the future and need a larger one you can always sell and trade up. Also, from what I understand an mp10 wireless es can be linked to the mp40 wireless es, so you can always use them both on a larger tank.

Price will not varry much at all, EcoTech has a fairly tight grip on prices. I also don't believe they have plans for the MP20 again.

Jake,

I just bought the MP10ES for my Solana Nano tank. I kind of keep it on the low end, so you should be fine with this. Works great and is very adjustable in terms of flow.

On MR, locate MasterSwimmer (( saltwatercritters.com ) and a guy named Russ. Has great prices and great service on this.

Can you let him know that I recommended you.

Hope this helps.

If it was me, I would buy a used MP20 and if you upgrade down the line (which we all end up doing) you could always buy an upgrade kit and convert it to a MP40wES. An MP10 would be sufficient for you though.
