    So I just put this baby in my 90 acrylic and OH MY GOD........It is an amazing pump......I had 3 PH's in there before........I fired this thing up and pulled the old 3 PH's......I am running it in ReefCrest mode at 50% and it is doing better then 3 PH's

    I would think about maybe another one opposite but I think this is pleanty......will run it this way for a few days to see for sure

    One Positive..........I now have more room in my tank w/o all those PH's LOL

    Vortechs are at their best when you have more than 1 and they will communicate with each and work as a team

    A 2nd MP40 would rock your tank, I have 2 on my 180 that I run at 100% and they do a very good job

    I have 2 running on my 75 at 2/3. Everything is very happy.

    Congrats on your MP40.

    465 bucks was enough for one day....not sure the wife would appreciate me spending 900+ and then another 200bucks on a reactor setup and NPX Plastics today

    I will end up with two soon I think

    What mode is yours in?

    The one thing that may make some difference is the front corners are rounded and not square like a 4 walled tank....?
