    I use reef crest on anti sync mode. I feel like even on 100% power I do not have enough flow to pick up all the crap off the sand. Ecotech recomends 1 mp40 and 1 mp10 for a 75gal with sps

    You can do that or 3 mp10 based on their flow calculator.

    Yea this is true. I might just go to long pulse mode, not make a wave. But like a nice back and forth action. haha

    The MP40s are too powerful for a 75 gallon tank. Two ideal, three for best results. Right now ONE is enough for my 75 gallon but I'll be getting another one.
