I have about a month to wait until I can buy a pump. I have a friend who might lend me a mp40 just to try out. I like the tunze 7095 controller but I've never seen one in person though. I would only ever want 2 pumps for my tank.

I got my hands on 2 mp40 pumps to try out. First impression was the look of the pumps they are very nice. I quickly looked through the manual 40 some pages. This pump has some nice running modes. I got them running I could hear them especially when I turned them up, they are really noisy in pulse mode. I can't run them at max speed anyways because it disturbs my sand. I turned them down and they are not so loud but definitely noticeable. I'm currently using reef crest mode.

Jason,
maybe try two mp10w es? you have the 40's dialled back, maybe two 10's would be enough? Just a thought, I know where you can get two 10's to try, you saw how quickly they made a wave in the 90. LMK

They are running little above about 80% (10th led)power. I'm really surprised how wide the flow is on these pumps. I'm going to do some research on the mp10's never even thought about them before.

I run my MP40W ES pair at about 80 to 85% as well (4 foot 77 gal), in TSM as mentioned earlier. Find this a good compromise between the right amount of flow, flow patterns & sound from the pumps. I've never seen an MP10 in action but I would think on a tank your size they will need to be set to 100% for best results. No idea how much noise an MP10 makes compared to a 40, but personally, I'd rather have 40s turned down a little than 10s running at max. If you can get your hands on a couple of MP10s to try, that's great, 'cause in the end that's the best way to see what works for you.
That's a great video there Marko, really condenses the capability of the MP10s, wireless, battery backup & flow modes.
