How do you like the MP10 on this tank? I am in process of setting up a tank of almost identical dimensions, and have been wondering whether an MP10 would work for flow due to how shallow the tank is. May I ask where you placed it? And that's the only powerhead?

It all looks great, how long has it been set up?

Thank you sula. The Frag tank has been setup since June 2010. I love the flow of the mp10 in the tank I have it placed opposite my return so I get good random flow in the middle of the tank were the sps are. I am only using it probably at 1/2 power and have a nice wave and flow all over the tank. It's the only powerhead in the tank I use to have an mj1200 & a korilia 3 before

Oh, I see it now - you put in on a side wall. I can see I'll have to experiment with it a little.
By the way - the creepy-looking mask looking over the project - does it ward off evil spirits or something? (Evil spirits = Red bugs and Aiptasia) :wink:
