MP10... your opinions

[cmonti]

Starting a 30 breeder with mainly SPS so Ill need some good flow. Im torn between an MP10 or placing (2) Koralia 1 power heads in tank. As you know the MP10 is almost twice the cost. Whats your opinion???

definately get the mp10. you'll eventually find yourself wanting it and will have to pay an extra on top of the koralia 1s. i have an mp10 on my 30g 24x24x12 and its perfect

breeder tank is 36" long. will the (1) MP10 be enough to hit the whole tank?

 

[nikesb]

many people use and mp10 in a 30" long tank and still dial it back. i think you should be good to go with a 30 breeder.
you will have to aquascape to allow more flow on the other end of the tank. in 40 breeders, i know people use 2 mp10's, so as things grow out and block more flow, you may have to add another powerhead. 2 koralia 1's will definately not create enough flow for an SPS dominant tank

I agree, get the MP10, you won't be disappointed.
