Can you share your MP40 settings? Curious what your max speed is really, have you noticed over the years of growth that you need to increase them or change anything?

I run them at max speed on reef crest, on an alternating cycle. Imagine this diagram

then

Flow wise, I would say that I've not had to make many major adjustments to placement. I have increased the output of the Mp40s but I have not had to relocate the pumps. If anything I will relocate the colony.


Just found this thread, how do your acros/reef tank look like now?
Check back a few posts :)

to clarify, in the system where I run 4 Mp40's I run them max around 70%.
In the system where I run 2 mp40s and 2 tunze 6045's I run the Mp40s at 100%
Sweet ok that makes more sense, I’ve got mp40s around the same height personally trying to figure it out. Thanks
