two MP10's suitable for a 100 long?

tmc1313 · 10/13/2010, 09:12 PM

I have a 100 long aquarium (72" x 18" x 17"). The middle of this tank is where my return from my sump will be. For extra flow I was thinking about using two MP10's on the left and right sides mounted on the back glass. Will these be suitable? I want to keep the tank sides free of any hardware. The tank is relatively shallow and only 18" from front to back. I think I will also get a billowing effect as the MP10's hit the front glass. I also like the small profile of the MP10's. Thanks

Dpends on what you are keeping. For sps I would say thats nowhere near enough. I have two MP20s on a 4' long 75 gal and it's not enough. Upgrading to mMP40's.

Where did you place your MP20's, (sides or back of tank)?
