Advice on flow for my tank.

[rstar]

The other route to take would be to buy a cheaper controller like the RK Lite and using another Koralia. Options options, any advice at this point would be greatly appreciated.

Cheaper alternative.

Personally, I would go with the MP10 wes adding to your existing flow ($299) Yes, you can’t aim them but they are also more of a broad flow, and like you said controllable. If you going to add a RK lite and more Koralias it will work out to almost the same cost. The MP10’s are cleaner looking and no heat in the tank, having the motor on the outside. Bang for your buck, the Koralias are better, but not nearly as nice looking. In a small tank the less equipment you see the more your eye is drawn to the live stock. In a big tank the bulky PH’s don’t look as bad as they do in a smaller tank. Feed mode a nice feature with the vortechs as well.

I have 1 MP10, 1x 750gph Koralia, 1x 550gph Koralia in my tank 30”x24”x24”. As soon as my vendor gets stock in on the MP10’s I will be adding 2 more and dropping the Koralias. Not one cord in my display after that, nice and clean looking.

+100 On the MP-10!
I finally bucked up and bought one to replace the 2 Tunze 6015's in my BC29. All I have to say is "Why didn't I do this SOONER?" There is WAY more room in the Tank, and NO CORDS! I'm using the Tidal Swell Mode, which cycles from right-left, calm period, left-right, calm period, and then a turbulent rush. DEFINITELY the way to go!!!

Yes, it's a bigger pill to swallow to buck up for it, but it's worth every penny!

Seems like most people are for the MP10. Myother question about these is, how hot does the dry side get?

[Reefie]

It just gets warm not hot.

This was also a concern for me as I have 2 little girls with the MP-10 within reach.
