    Hey thanks! I run both at about 25% power and its plenty. I also have the return pump moving water around as well. But in my opinion 2 MP10s is PLENTY for a 75!

    Yes two MP10's. I got the rock from bulk reef supply, i went with the reef saver rock which is cleaned and does not have phosphates. It ran me about $2.20 a pound i think when i was in a group buy. Either ways its very affordable. My sand came from reefrocks.net, i got 120 pounds for about $70 shipped! Its a fine grain sand with some crushed and whole shells mixed in.
