Flow for 33g .Advise needed

A.G · 03/12/2010, 09:37 AM

Hey guys,

I realy need your advise on a controllable pump for my 33g cube mixed reef tank.

I was looking into a 6055 with a single controller . I dont like the on and off option am looking more into controlling the wave power from min to max every few sec. Also am looking for a night mode.

Now I realy care about the noise since my tank is dead silent and would like to have a single pump or two at max ( I realy dont like the look of equipments inside the tank )

I took one mp40 from a friend but I did not like it due to the nosie.

Any help is appreciated !!

maybe a apex controller with a couple small controllable tunzes? Then you get the quite of the tunze but you can program them to work how ever you want.

I use two 6055s on Single Controller with a photocell for night mode. The flow is amazing and I don't really see the need to upgrade to a controller with more options. I do occassionally switch the voltage to change the flow of one or both pumps. There are six positions, 12v, 15v, 18v, 20v, 22v, and 24v. I have considered buying a new controller but feel I have plenty of options with my current set up.

2 mp-10s would give a lot of flow, but they wont be silent. Should be the same as a mp40 at about 60-70% speed.
