And my 170 that is still in process. Vectra L1,mp40's, reef link, and eventually radion lighting.

I have this same sump on my 190 and love it
 
 
Really need more flow, I got out of the hobby three years ago with your mp40 powerheads on my last tank and loved them just don't have extra cash right know or they would already be in my tank!

I'm planning on upgrading to either a 120 or 180 in the next year or so from my 60 cube that I just put 2 x MP40 wQDs on. If I had another MP40wQD I might be able go even bigger on my next tank.

Rocking 2 mp10wqd's on the back wall on reef crest mode, they put out some good flow together

I need more flow!

As my sps frags turn into mini colonies they are gonna need more flow... and what better than an vortech, really?
 
Other than mounting the pumps on the back wall, has anyone come up with a way to make the wire on the pump less noticeable, or look neater, when the pumps are mounted on the ends of the tank? I know this is going to bug me when I get my new tank. Not a big fan of the adhesive tie wrap mounts stuck on the tank for cable management. Interested to see if anyone has come up with something different.

This is a picture of my current setup with one less MP10. I had 2 MP10's (both from 2013)..daughter accidentally broke the dry side recently and am waiting for bearings in the mail in hopes that it will fix the problem. A brand new MP40QD would greatly help! It would be apart of the family :)
 

Here is a video as my bonus Entry #2 from May 25th of this year. Hope you enjoy!
