Actually it is.
A pump falling off the side of the tank is a terrible mechanical design. Petcos 15 dollar pumps are better

As others have noted, the MP10 is designed for smaller tanks with a maximum glass thickness of 9.5 mm. LFS sold you the wrong pump. MP10 probably can be made to work on 10 mm glass as long as you support the dryside.

The MP10 is probably the best pump on the market. Its the only pump i know of that does not put a cord in your tank among other great features. I own 5 of them. A few are more than 2yrs old and ive never had a problem. Its the only pump i will use.

Dont be mad at the pump or think its designed poorly. Its designed perfectly for glass that is no thicker than 9.5mm. Unfortunately your glass is thicker than that, hence your problems.
 

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
