Thanks Wes it's coming along =)

Today I did something a little strange for me and purchased an mp10. i've always dreaded the ecotech noise but was so frustrated trying to get flow right in the tank using a tunze nano stream. the flow is too focused and to get flow right in the centre of the tank i had to turn the perimeter of the scape into a jacuzzi! i came close by aiming my flared return flow into the nano stream to scatter a bit of flow into the middle but it wasn't good enough.

I was anxious to correct this because Greg (Snappy) generously agreed to give me back a frag of my old hoeksemai and i'll do whatever it takes to keep it happy. I'm running it in reef crest mode and topping out at 60% power. Yes there is the typical whirring sound but it doesn't get all that loud at 60% and we barely noticed it after the kids went to bed. with the kids awake they become dead silent =)

I only had one spot to mount the thing but the beauty of these things seems to be it barely matters where they go. I have absolutely perfect flow everywhere in the tank now. Bye bye Tunze! They've got a place in larger tanks for sure but I'm a convert. I'll add one more mp10 when I eventually transfer to a slightly larger tank next year.

If this wasn't a family board i'd use a little profanity to convey how much i love this thing.
