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).

Anyone else have vids?

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.
