Hmm. That feed mode communication is an interesting trick. I am a fan of the MPs just due to ease of maintenance and durability. I keep a few spare wet sides so I can swap them in seconds and throw the dirty in citric acid. Rinse it next day and repeat. I have 8 of them running, so ease matters. My older units are 7 years old or so I think.Hey Scott,
I had a tunze 6095 wide open, and a crosswave gryre type pump, both replaced by a single mp40. The tunze put out insane flow, but no sand storm, had to get creative The sand only moves during constant mode at 100%, but I even cranked up the mp40 to 80%, and no issues in reefcrest mode. The pumps synced, but not too upset over that, really nice during feed mode as one pump triggers the other to feed mode, kinda slick I suppose The acros seem to love the flow pattern already. I also finally put up my custom screen top today, so time to add some fish!!!
Starting ti really enjoy the direction of the tank.
