MP10 or Redsea Reefwave 25

[Jgill70]

I have a nano reef tank with the dimensions of 18x18x18 and was wondering which would be better the mp10 or reefwave 25.

MP10 for me. Space is a premium in smaller tanks. Plus the Vortech is way easier to clean

I’ve been using the hygger wave makers from amazon. Cheap and just as good as mp10s which I have owned before.

I had the MP10 in a RS max nano and was great. Def recommend it

I would avoid the Reefwave. I have three of them...two of the controller boards crapped out in under a year..plus they move a lot of water but very harshly whereas an MP10 has better control. Dont get me started about the PITA it is to connect to the app.

I have no experience with the reefwave but I have 2 mp10 in a 24x20x20 tank and have been happy with them.

I have the same sized tank and utilize an mp10 on the back wall. It disappears against the black background and as others have said, very easy to maintain over a gyre type pump.

I know it isn't on your list but why not Nero 3 or 5? I have the 3 in a similar sized tank, it's running at 60% power.

So far no love for the Reefwave 25

For a tank of that size, I'd go with the nero 3, placed on the back wall. I have the Reefwave 25, on my 50 gal & only run at 10%. Considering to stop using completely, since adding Random flow nozzles.

Mp10. Pricey but worth it. Just bought a used one on r2r, it can be a bit noisy if not cleaned but other than that it’s awesome.

I can second this, before my mp10 I used a hygger wave maker. Worked great but they do go bad after a bit, the motor slows down even after cleaning. Ran it for about 9 months

My tank is an all in one so I can not place anything on the back wall

I have mine on the side under the return flow, no problems with flow at all.

I’m with ya. I’m done with Red Sea accessories, only because the app sucks. In fact I’m done with any app based controllability, period.

I 2nd this, two Nero 3 for $10 more than an mp10qd gives you a lot more flexibility to control flow in your tank
