VorTech MP10's or Tunze NanoStream 6095

[turfster26]

I am trying to configure my powerhead needs for a new 60gl build that I just got up and running over the weekend.

I have owned Tunze for many years prior to install MP60's in my 180gl SPS tank and was very happy with them. The only thing I did not like about the Tunze, that I love about the Vortech's, is the controllability.

Now my issue. Should I go back to running Tunze's? Their new 6095 looks pretty slick and offer more gph; roughly 2600gph vs. 1500 with the MP10. Will I miss the controllability of the EcoTech? Will (2) MP10's be enough for a medium stock mixed reef 60gl Cube?

Any insight would be GREATLY appreciate. This is a pretty important purchase and/or configuration for my new Cube; which I am excited about.

i would go with the MP10's..

there was a study that found the Tunze were overrated in gph...
so dont base your choice on gph but on usability

Does anyone know what the key differences are between the MP10 and MP20?

The MP20 is discontinued. The MP10 uses a different design than the old MP20 and MP40. Different motor block and wetside i think.

They don't make the 20's anymore, 20 is bigger and can be upgraded to a 40 by swapping out the driver
