vortech opinion

[duke62]

what size vortech for a 50 breeder,mp20 or 40

 

[jerl77]

i got an mp10 in a 40 breeder works great perfect amount of flow

 

[daaznmofo]

i would get a mp40. you can dial it down if you don't need it that strong

 

[mckostya]

what are you keeping in the tank? sps? mp40 is great

 

[duke62]

i may dabble in sps in the future but right now its lps and softies.i really like the wave effect.i would have gone for the koralias with the controller but i was talked out of it

 

[fernandokng]

Definitely get the 40.

 

[wonderballz]

Though I haven;t started my system yet, I have an MP40 for it. Like was said before, you can always dial it down. Plus, I have seen a few used ones for sale, ever since I bought mine used a month ago.

 

[duke62]

i checked.i cant find any used ones.if u have the link would love to see it

 

[dubs]

def get a mp40 u can turn it down and if u upgrade u would already have what u need

 

[duke62]

no upgrading here.had a 120 wasnt as fun as the 50

I think the mp20 and 40 are the same size, just the 40's wireless. They only sell one size replacement wet sides for the 20 and 40.

 

[wonderballz]

They may have all sold. If I see any links tonight or tomorrow I'll post

I would recommend an mp40, but I also think you'll be fine with the 20. The 20 will be perfect for LPS/softies/etc but the SPS will love the extra flow from the 40.

 

[duke62]

yeah i was thinking the 20 for economical reasons.the 40 might be out of my range.tropical island sells them the 20 for around 280 i believe

 

[CONSTANTNE]

Agree with others. For your situation a 20 would work just fine. For reference im using a 40 on a 40 breeder with SPS.

 

[Audi0s]

Or look for a broken one. I found an mp20 with broken wet side for 90. Bought the wet side for 75 online, so it was a fair deal.

[duke62]

so i went and picked up the vortech mp20 today.so far i like it.what im concerned about is the warning that some tanks cant handle the wave effect and may bust a seam because of it.hope thats not the case with my AGA.also i had to do it i bought Wingos LED strip light.they are beautiful.

 

[duke62]

oh yeah i dont think my torch is liking the extra flow.hope its acting like that because i was messing with the lights
