    Hey all,

    I was looking for advice on what Vortech's to get for my 30x30x18 cube. I have no exp with Vortech's so looking for users to chime in. I was thinking either 1 mp40 or 1 mp20 or 2 mp10's. I have mostly LPS & Softies in my tank, only one Monti but may do some SPS down the line.

    Thanks!
    Joe

    An mp40 would be plenty and an mp20 would be enough also. An mp10 would be on the low side. Two mp10 woul be enough if you placed them properly.

    The nice thing with an mp20 is that you can upgrade to an mp40 later if you want to
