MP60w ES or MP40w ES?

[reefs4life]

Hey guys so I'm having a bit of dilemna. I have a 210G tank and it my rock arrangement looks like this:

Now on the left side, which you can't see in the pic, I have a MP40w ES and I love it, it's the coolest piece of equipment IMO. But anyways, I want to get another vortech for the right side now but I'm stuck between a MP60 or a MP40. I was also thinking of just getting an MP40 and then later on getting another mp40 or mp60 for the back even though I don't really want to move the rock because I like the way it looks now. Just want some opinions. Thanks in advance, Fortunato

I had a 210 and wound up putting 4 mp40's on it and it worked like a charm. I started with 2 and it did a good job and then the other 2 were the iceing on the cake....:splitspin

I went with MP60 on my 220gal becasue of rock work and sps growth blocking and i think it was perfect

Mp60. U will be then happy and u won't have yo crank the thing. I have two on my custom 220 and love them. Have them under half way , but I don't have any coral in the tank yet, but they move a ton and create awesome flow in the tank.

Same can be said for every powerhead on the market.

Yep. A few years back I had an anemone sucked in by a smaller Koralia.

To the MP60 owners out there-- are the MP60's a lot louder than the Mp40s? I've only seen a few in person, and they were much louder than the 40's.

Something to think about if you have an otherwise quiet tank.

mp60 might be worth it for a 210.and as for the noise i think whoevers tank you seen the mp60 had it hooked up wrong.believe it or not they designed the mp60 to be very quiet.this coming straight from ecotech

 

[rickytsui]

2 MP60 will do

My friend has a 180 with a similar rockscape as you and he has two MP60's. Also his tank is barebottom and 90% SPS.
