Reef upgrade opinions?

[burtonboi]

Hey all. I just purchased an ecotech mp40w. Should I sell my ecotech mp10 and upgrade to a second one? Or will it be sufficient for me to just use the existing mp10w with the new mp40w?
My current tank is a 47 gallon soon to be 90 gallon.


Thanks!

I think you should be fine with what you have. That is quite a bit of flow when put together. What type of corals you planning?

I had 2 mp10s in my 46 and it was more than enough. I would think an mp40 and an mp10 would be plenty.

I have mix of LPS, soft corals, and I just started going into SPS..

Are they easy to sync wirelessly?

yes, very easy. I wouldn't get a second MP40 for that size tank, it is possible to have too much flow. You might even have to dial back the max power on the MP40 actually.

You can get the full manual for the MP series pumps as a PDF from ecotech's website. The instructions on how to slave them together are pretty straightforward.
