Flow for 24x24x16 sps tank
 

Would a single mp10 or a single tunze 6055 be enough flow or would I need to supplement it with more power heads?

What are you using for return?

Four mp40s should do it

i have a 24 24 14 and i have an mp10 and a tunze nano, the mp10 was not enough but thats just my tank, you should save your money and get the jebao wp25 i have 3 wp40 for my big tank, for a 100 bucks you cant go wrong just youtube these pumps there freaking awesome, i like them better then vortec because you can angle them were as the mp10 its a straight on shot,

Might want to add in an mp60 to be safe.

vortechs create undertow which cant be matched by any of those other pumps

My tank is 24x24x12 and I have 2 mp10 at 70%.

Plus 2 directional bulkheads for returns. Which blast the bottom of tank to keep crap suspended.

Try to shoot for 50 to 70 times tank turnover for your SPS
So somewhere between 2000 and 2800 GPH total (my tank is only 50 times per hour, but everything is swaying well enough)

Subtract your return pump from this and see what slack is left for the props to pick up

This is not the thread you are looking for. Move along.

I already have the tunze, paid 80$ for it bnib so technically I already saved my money :P

And I already had the mp10

Any extra flow I need will come from a couple of the 20 hk's I have laying around

So now you get to do some math

Around 2000gph
So if I run the tunze full power then it's enough

What you have should be enough, if your doing an open scape it's very easy for water to move.

In my 4'x18"x18" tank I was running 1 mp40wes at 60% and 1 mp10 at 80% with a return from a quiet one 4000 throttled down to about 60%. Good flow no dead spots, I have 40lbs or rock in 2 formations and the pumps on either side.
I recently sold my mp10, loved that little bugger for a jebao wp25 and one wp60.

I have to admit I don't like the direct flow of the mp10 as it blew off flesh off one of my frags they're very powerful and up close can do damage. The jebao like the OP said can be aimed up so this will give me surface turbulence like my wide flow mp40.

Since you have the tunze you're pretty much rockin, don't remember if you said you were purchasing a mp10 but if you already had the ten use it. I personally would use the jebao. Once you see it in action you'll be sold!

Some serious wave action, sps were swaying polyps like in the ocean.... Amazing!

I think you will need to put both in. I just put a extra mp10 in my frag tank along with a mp40 and a Tunze 6095, they just can't seems to get enough flow. If I were you I would start with a mp40 and see where that leads you than decide from there.
