Here is my MP40. I'm hoping to get another for that beautiful wave action.

My LFS convinced me to buy an MP10. I should have bought 3 Jebao or Hydors instead. Biggest dislike is the noise, since motor is outside tank. For that reason alone I wouldn't buy another. And you can't pivot the head. The wet-side also seems to require more frequent breakdown and cleaning than Jebao, and gets really loud when it needs to be cleaned.

Sorry, I didn't have a pic handy. :)

My current mp10qds are in my 65 gallon system, on sides of aquarium on opposite corners. This was found after trial and error of rock work, fish hides and dead spots. Having this placement creates a counter clockwise flow that reaches all parts of the tank without disturbing fish hangouts. The two modes that work best for me is gyre and reef crest, just enough turbulence off the rocks creates a sway, for my softies. I'm entering this contest because I'm upgrading my tank from 65 to 150 making a mp 40 a perfect fit. Thank you for having such a giveaway! Your pumps and back battery are fantastic.

Where is gyre mode in apex fusion? I don't have it

I would position another pump on the back wall in addition to the 2 far sides.

Friends good topic, now at night I upload photos of my tank with Vortech.

I think to make it more interesting and even educational for those who want to have Vortech but do not know how many need, we could record the measurements of tank and how we use and Vortech that model.

I have one MP40 on one end of the tank with another brand pump on the other end. Trying to create a random pattern of flow.

I have 2 MP40s. On a 100 gallon, you really wouldn't want to see them, they are covered in algae and fish poo!!! I run mostly lagoon, reef crest twice a day after feeding, antisync

I have two MP10's on my 75 gallon. The powerheads are mounted on opposite ends of the tank and set to a short pulse.
