I know the MP40 runs on 36v and I currently have my MP10 on the Hydros Kraken since it’s 24v.

I also know the MP40 will work on reduced voltage even down to 12V.

Question is has anyone had success running theirs at 24v long term? I hate having a brick to use when I have a Kraken running most everything else and would love to eliminate the brick.
 
Well I tried it tonight and everything is running just fine. I never run it fast since my 60gal it’s in is only 36” wide and 100% just rips everything up.
Were you able to use it with the kraken ?
