water movment

Well I wanted to do a full assie lps tank and now I have channged my mind. I have 2 mp10wes onn my 90g and I been selling my lps and going all sps. I'm going to need more flow I thinnk. Should I just add another mp10 to the tannk or change it all up? Also my returnnn is a mag18 runninng a pellet reactor and a duel brs.

If funds are not an issue I'd go with a mp40 and keep the 2 10's.

I did have a mp40 and it was more then twice as loud as the mp10s so I sold it.

i have 2 mp40's and they make virtually no noise. maybe they were not set properly against eachother. those pumps are great or maybe think about a wavebox, which are really cool

I would keep your mp10s and add a wavebox.
should be perfect

+1 to the wavebox idea!! I would not suggest the nano for your 90 if you have a lot of rockwork.....I have the nano and found I needed an additional nano tunze to operate opposite of it.....if you have the room and the money get the full size wavebox from tunze!!

I had my mp40 set up like my mp10s. Being in the livinng room I don't wannt that extra noise. And I was thinkin a wavebox since I have my mp10s putting a pretty good wave inn my tannk now. How much flow do you guys have in your sps tanks? I only have a few sps milli colonies now.

I have a lot..... Probably more than most for a 75g.....I have my tunzes turned down a little and will ramp them up every now and again....here's my setup....

3 Tunze 6055s .....usually at 60% with 24V chip operating randomly throughout the tank along with a Tunze 6095 usually at 60% with 24V chip.....I also have a tunze nano wavebox (22V chip)and a tunze 6095 (20V chip)operating opposite each other at 100% to create a sweet wave! I have thought about changing the pumps at night maybe to decrease the water movement.....anyone do this? Or the opposite?

2 mp40's on a regular 90. set at about half speed and on the lagoon mode. you really see the polyps moving

Tunze does a mid size wave box now if you're looking at new. The vid I put in the wave maker thread has the one 6095 in a box doing as big a wave as my 180 will accommodate (up to the trim) without actually lowering the water level.

After a couple of days my milli's have way better PE than before although the currents are not as intense as with the alternating power heads I was using before.

...and the wave is really cool to watch.

I have a wave up to my trim already with mp10s. I don't think I want to add a big box inside the tank tho. What are the messurments of the tunze nnano?
