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...

I'd play it by ear as to whether to run it alone or not, if I go for it. I guess the trouble with noise is that it's all perception... one persons mild hum can be another persons ear splitting screech. Is there anything sort of standard or commonly found you guys could compare the noise to that might give me some idea?

As far as the controller goes that really is tough... The profilux offers an almost infinite number of settings to change manually, but I don't think it can actually do any of the sequences that the ecotech controller does. I could set up the wave, but I couldn't setup a wave that changes itself. In short, I don't think I would mind not having it plugged into the profilux.

What sort of issues have you had Wes?
