    Let me know what you think 8)

    Do you think the flow is set a bit too high?
    That is music in the background not the pump making that noise.

    Thanks :)

    Its kind of loud set above 75% on short/long pulse modes, but vortech says it takes a few weeks to wear in.

    Awesome!! I have two MP40s and love them. I would let your corals be your guide.. Flow looks oknto me. If corals dont open as much as they did prior give them a day or so to adjust but if they don't I would cut it back. This has worked for me.

    Thank you! 8)
    It has been about a day and everything is opening normally besides the xenia and the anthelia is a tad shorter than normal, but I am going to see how they are tomorrow.

    The Xenia I had when I got my 40s did the same thing. In a couple days it bounced back. I lost it later to something unrelated. Good luck with it!!

    No do you have it go in to night mode? This allows things to calm down a bit overnight.
