Flow for a 10G?

[nanoreefer22]

What would you guys use for a 10g softie/LPS tank?

Right now have a aquaclear 201 and maxijet 900.....

Kris, in a small tank with LPS and softies my goal would be a light random flow with the smallest profile possible. I would make an external overflow, add a sump and use a scwd on my return as the only flow. As a sumpless setup I would go with the MP10 because of the low profile and it's ability to create a random flow from one point of flow in the tank.
FYI if you left your current flow I am sure everything would be fine

Agreed ...

You downgraded to a 10G already Kris? Wow ... what's next? 3G pico? lol. :tongueani

i'm guessing your going sumpless as usual. so the aquaclear and maxi-jet should be fine.

You guys think it would make sense to get one of those Hydor Flow Deflector things for the maxijet? My surface movement is garbage right now

Hydor flo would help spread things out a little.

mp10 homie if sumpless. But $200 is steep for a dang pump. I'm planning reefkeeper lite controller with a small rio hooked to it.

I want the mp10 but bhow do i explain $200 to myself...

You only live once Kris. Scrape up the funds. You won't miss the money.........AND if you decide to sell, it actually has great resale value.
