has anyone else read this http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2009/10/review I hadn't seen that, but pretty much confirms what I've speculated since I got my mp10. It's every bit as powerful as an mp20, I'd say. -------------------- |

I love my MP40W! I have it on my 35g (36") tank. Makes the tank really look much more clean (can't even see the wires if you look straight at it). I also use short pulse at around 75-80% to create some killer waves. Definitely adds to the overall effect (and makes the corals really "pulse"/move), but also makes more noise as water gets dumped over my overflow box. Here's a youtube video to demonstrate such (the waves are not going at full capacity in this video tho). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIIlxiznCPQ Anyone else have vids? lol im the 1st one to put run away. what i mean is i dont have one atm but am goign to run away to the store later today to buy one -------------------- |

While in short pulse, what does saving the setting do?
If I take it out of short pulse and back it isn't saved so what is it actually doing? -------------------- |

When you press the button, you can set the rate/frequency at which it pulses. When you save the setting, you are saving that frequency. After it's saved, when you turn the knob you are adjusting how "hard/water it pushes" during each pulse. Hope that helps.
