Mpw10 ecotech

[Carley]

Bought a few ecotech mpw10’s today. Not sure which flow setting I should have them on or what speed, first time using ecotech!
I have mostly softies, with some lps. Thanks in advance!

36x24, I have a 40 breeder which is 36x18, however I have sps corals, I donreefcrest mode antisync 100% power. For yours id time it down to about 75% power or less

Ok great! I have it on the tital swell mode. Is this ok?

All depends on how your corals respond to the flow. I like nutrient export mode a lot really helps keeping detritus suspended long enough to be removed my the overflow. I messed around with my mp40 for a day to get the speed I needed.

Should be, just watch your corals, and if they don't seem to like it change it up till you find one they prefer :)

I'm assuming/calculating that your tank is 36*24*21"H?

That's a lot of tank for mp10's! No matter where they are placed it seems like they're going to be facing more water than they can effectively move. Good thing you have three!!

I think placement is going to be crucial to prevent you from needing to add a fourth. :confused::eek:

Where are you setting them up in the tank and can you post a full tank shot?
