    I picked up another Vortech MP10 for my Neo Nano and hope to install it soon. This is going on my Neo Nano cube opposite the one on the other side of the back wall. I am curious about the efficiency of such an arrangement.

    Does anyone run a pair of these on the opposite sides of the back wall of the tank facing forward on your cube? How's it working for you?

    I am interested to see what people have done since Vortech suggest putting them opposite each other.

    I think Vortech has suggestions for non rectangular tanks. Might get lucky there.

    I have a pair of mp10 on the back wall of my 50 cad. It works wonderfully. I run them in langoon mode so it is not make wave, but the flow is good and my corals enjoy it.
