I have two MP 20,s {well just sold one} and they work flawless. I owned several Tunze streams, only the 6080,s my fav. Of course on larger tanks. If I did it all over again, I would stick with the Tunze products. As I said my Vortechs have been perfect so no complaint but for the price and reliability I would stick with Tunze.

At least thats my personal preference. For my smaller cube, besides the MP 20 I have running, I just ordered the Hydor 1400 stream pump. Hard to beat it @ $54.

Do you have any other flow in the tank? Deadspots? What's your take on the noise issue?

besides my split return there is no other flow in my tank. I honestly don't find the mp10 that loud... usually don't hear it over the tv. I have been debating getting another mp10... just for some more flow as there are a couple minor dead spots, nothing that serious. The MP10 gives enough flow to keep my BTA & clam happy...
