gregzz4 will become famous soon enough
Default Been thinkin' about new MP40s

I've listened to some MP40s, and I have MP10s

The MP40s I've listened to lately are used, and over 1 or 1.5 years old. They are very noisy, at least to me

I have one more option to listen to an acquaintance's MP40 on the same size tank as mine
He has a 10 and a 40 on a 75g

We'll see what happens but, I'm not holding my breath anymore as I am finding the 40s to be too loud for my liking ......

That's too bad that they are in-tank

I would consider the Tunzes, but same problem

Thanks for the insight

I'm almost thinking I should re-build and do a closed-loop ( NOT GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW )

I had a idea the other day about closed
Loop.
It was to use hottub jets as the spiral when in action.
The ones in my hottub have no Metal parts and fit like a bulkhead fairly flush

Hmmm
Weird thought you had there

I don't think many aquarium return pumps are strong enough to run hot tub jets, but, maybe I don't know enough

Anyway, not the point here ....

I'm not sure if Snappy is using the MP40s or bigger. I've heard his in person, and they were very quiet to me. I seem to remember corraline on them, so they can't be really new. Maybe he'll chime in.
