I know coral enjoy the flow during the day time, but what about night? Do we lower flow for them? Do we lower flow for the fish to sleep? I know reefers didn’t worry about this when controllers weren’t a thing, but I’m curious where it stands and what everyone does.
Hi I can’t find an exact reason for the spacer. Is it really necessary or what is the purpose of it? When I run the recommended spacer I hear vibrating when it ramps up and when I just use the thin gasket I hear no vibration….
MP40QD for Sale
This was my backup MP40 as it was in my tank for about 6mos to 1yr in order to be a slave pump but never got it figured out and frankly my tank couldnt handle 2 mp40s so it wasnt much used or needed. Took it out of tank and cleaned it and it has sat as backup.

I’ve got a 200 gallon peninsula build I’m planning to transfer my existing Reefer 350 into. The BRS videos sold me on Caribsea Ocean Direct sand as I wasn’t a super fan of my current sand and I liked the idea of hopefully bringing in the bacteria from the direct ocean sand. Unfortunately, the...
I got 2 MP40s for my new reefer 900, which has 3/4" glass and when I tested putting it on the outer half kept partially sliding off, I mean it didn't 100% fall off but it looked like it will fall off any time which is worrisome. I mean the maximum glass rating for it is 3/4in so I thought I was...

Hi, as of recent I bought a Waterbox Reef 130.4 and I’m looking into some flow options. I’m currently looking at a mp40, nero 5 and a gyre of some sort. I’ll be buying only one and will be adding another one in the future. Does anyone have any experience with one of these (or more) and would...
Hey all, this is my first time joining/posting on a forum of any kind so I'm excited to share my progression. (unfortunately not too many 180.5 threads)
I started reefing about 8 months ago with a 29g Aqueon and canister, which was a freshwater setup prior. That lasted a couple weeks due to not...

Hello:)
I have a new Red Sea 425xl up and running. Been cycled for a while and already have a decent stock in the tank. Recently added 15 corals and have a question on flow.
I really want this to be a mixed reef but I read so many different things about flow. I’ve seen up to x80+ In some...
CaribSea Oolite, looks amazing before the equipment is turned on, but not so much after. I'm sure it would be amazing for low flow systems, but please learn from my mistake and don't even try it with anything else. The video below is right after turning on the two MP40s at 20%. Their mounted...

Ok...here we go. I recently moved and bought a 135 gallon Crystal Dynamic aquarium. The tank is 36 by 36 by 24, and it has a stand a canopy as well. I have had reef tanks since I was about 15 and about 15 years later finally decided buy my first new tank. It definitely came with a price tag, but...
Hi y’all.
I have been doing tons of research and can’t pick between the tunze, vortech or ai for my powerheads. I had decided very early to use the mp40 but now that I can’t find it anywhere along with the g5 lights I have begun to rethink things for my 120(4x2x2).
what u know so far:
