MP40 or MP60 for 71" L x 23.6" H x 25.6" W Tank

Hi Guys,

As the subject reads, MP40 or MP60 for 71" L x 23.6" H x 25.6" W tank? Goal is to have mixed reef tank with emphasis on SPS. Thanks.

Personally I'd recommend an MP60 on either end. The MP40's hardly make it across my DT that is 48" long.

MP-60 for a tank that long.

every thinking about getting XF250 Gyre Pump with Controller (5300 GPH) - Maxspect then just add a second 250 pump only need one controller for both pumps just no wifi and more cheaper

I had 2 MP 40 on my 72'' wide and it word great. If looking to only do one pump then would do MP60. I use the Apex wireless module to control my 3 MP 40 to give lots of different wave patterns. I have one on the back. In process of building a 340 gallon system and plan on 4 MP40s on the back point toward the front with 4 return outlets .

My tank is the same size. I started with two MP60WQD. The flow was too linear. Then switched to two maxspect gyre Xf250s. They were awesome. But I had to clean them every two weeks as they slow way down when they get dirty. I ended up with four jebao SW15s and they are perfect. I get a great gyre type flow, no dead spots, and they were still the least expensive option.

Might be overkill with 2 MP60, your better off getting 3 MP40s so you get more flow.. These things really move 4000+ gallons per hour they are amazing!

Sounds like a reefer 750! I have one on pre-order as well. I'm either going with 2 mp60's on the sides with 2 mp40s on the back, or just 6 mp40s on the back for an incredibly clean look.

Yes it is! I cannot wait. I'm starting with 2 MP60s. I'll add in the future if necessary.

Awesome! I'm a huge fan of the vortech pumps.

I wanted to get it but found out that the Apex WXM module does not support it and I don't want to buy the ReefLink.

So I'm going to buy the Reef Octopus VarioS-8 DC pump which Apex can control.

Oh, sorry I meant the powerheads. I'm going with the varios return pump as well lol.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the Vectra pump.

For that size tank.
Go with 2 mp40 if budget allows you.
If not go with 2 jebao pp-20 or rw-20
