MP40w claims 3 lives in 2 days...!

I found that the foam guards reduced the flow as well as plugged very rapidly. I lost 2 seahares to my mp40s as well after I got sick of the foam guards and removed them.

Well, if I leave the pump at 80% without the foam, I hope that running at 100% with the foam will equal the same movement.

From my experience a healthy fish will have the strength to escape an mp40. Something is going on.....don't blame the mp40 quite yet.

The bannerfish was butting heads with the yellow tang for the first week but was fine after that however it always hung around the powerhead for some reason. It was only about 2" but it was eating like a pig and nothing seemed wrong with him as far as I could tell but its impossible to know for sure if there was anything internal.

Sorry to hear about your loses. While not a Vortech, I've lost several fish to my closed loop intakes over the past couple of years, it's pretty frustrating / sad.

No problem with my mp40 and a seahare, although it's only at 50%.

Sorry to hear about the losses!

Is that the only flow you have going in your tank or do your return lines add a lot more flow for your sps? I may tune mine down even more if your sps is down ok with only 50% as I doubt my clams and bta like all that movement.

Doesn't matter for the sea hare, mine got stuck in between the 1mm spacing on my tunze pump. Friken retard! I said forget the sea hare and just get an abalone, much more intelligent creature. Sorry to hear about the other fishes but honestly the banner must be on its way out and pipe fish in a highflow tank just don't mix.
