I had an MP10 on my 55 gl tank and it wasn't enough. I added 2 Koralia's and an MP40 and ran it at about 1/2. The Koralia's were for surface agitation, the MP's for the flow. The tank did awesome - corals grew like crazy. Tank was 48"x12"x18".
As far as the noise, doesn't bother me, my 180 is noisy - period (fans on lights, overflow, skimmer, pumps and phs....).
