Guest nanoreefchris Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Do you guys think this is enough for a 29G Mixed Reef (eventually SPS dominant)? I'm on the fence about whether or not it's enough, right now I'm running (2) K2s. Thanks! nope its not. I have an MP20 in my 29 g mixed reef and its just right. And if you ever want a bigger tank you would just get the upgrade kit from MP20-40. I cant imagine the mp10 giving you enough flow for SPS in a 30" long tank. Get the MP20 you'll thank yourself later. Link to comment
Dustin C Mills Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Has anyone put a MP10 in a JBJ Pico yet? Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Are these okay in a Biocube 29 and Nanocube 28 without the spacers? Link to comment

bird Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Been a time since I added the 2 MP10s to my Finnex 30 gl. Still going strong. I have tried time and time again different settings, but always go back to the long-pulse wave. The corals seem to really love the back and forth sway. SPS are mostly always with extended polyps and zoanthids seem in heaven swaying to and fro. Really glad I made the investment, though I am still paying for them. They are well worth it and the only type of in tank power head I will ever use again. Link to comment
coolwaters Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I love it and i dont even have it yet. Link to comment
rvadub Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I will be adding one of these to my BC29 next week I guess. Do you know, will the battery back up work with the 10 or no? Link to comment
Daleo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Definitely interested in the mp10, but not sold yet. Can the "dry" side work underwater as well. I want to put it behind the false wall of a NC. I read this thread and kinda understood that it cannot. Is this correct? Link to comment
bluegrizzlies1 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Had mine for 2 weeks and just love it running it on short pulse mode in a 12 gallon. Is there a way to turn it off without unplugging it ? this would help with water changes Link to comment

It will cause lots of problems with the motor. Same goes for the control box. Salt water and electronics make for a bad mix. Link to comment

levitationDrew Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 No. The air cools the motor passively. I have thought of how to get it into the back chambers and all I can think of is to make a U shaped channel for the dry side to sit down in. This way you can still get to it and the air will too. The manual says it needs some clearence around the dry side for heat dissipation. Link to comment
coolwaters Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 wat about putting it in a box with the top open and submerged? but enough so water doesnt get inside the box? i guess im trying too hard now... Link to comment
levitationDrew Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 wat about putting it in a box with the top open and submerged? but enough so water doesnt get inside the box? i guess im trying too hard now... Kinda like a U shaped channel. A box with an open top. Link to comment

Crippler Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I turn the MP10 "off" by following half the Night Mode sequence. Hold the 'set' & 'mode' buttons for 3 secs or until you get the alternating red...blue...white LED pattern. Now leave it. The pump will not be running. When you are ready to run the pump again, just press the 'set' button once. The pump will then resume with it's sweet, sweet flow. Link to comment
DrCooper Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Recently got the MP10 for my 28 gallon. So far so good but not super impressed. I probably am not using it to the best of its ability so only time will tell. Link to comment
PODPIMP Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Try the short pulse mode where it flashes blue and green if you haven't already. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I just had to laugh when you asked if you could get the dry side wet. Hint dryside. Link to comment
bird Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Recently got the MP10 for my 28 gallon. So far so good but not super impressed. I probably am not using it to the best of its ability so only time will tell. I was the same way and posted just that when I first got mine. But after playing with it and seeing the results on the corals and fish now I will never own anything else but an MP powerhead. Link to comment
Dustin C Mills Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Does anyone with a 12 gallon nano have any pictures or videos to share? It would help me out with the choice. Thanks Link to comment
JanHelge Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Good reading here Will be getting one for my RSM Link to comment
