Gabe Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I was wondering if anyone has an mp40 in a 55g.?. Is it too much? That is what I plan on using when I build a 120, but I have dicided to stick with my 55 untill we buy a house (probably within the year). I would go with the mp20, or more powerheads (YUK), but I have a hard time spending money on something I know is temporary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf86123 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Go with the MP20 IMO, since if you are like the majority of us, 1 tank will NOT be enough, and an MP20 in something like a 40 breeder is sick, and a 40 breeder makes for such a nice frag tank or what-not. Just my .02 worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 MP 40 for sure and buy two if you get a better deal-With a 120 ON THE HORIZON,NO MATTER HOW FAR OFF, YOU WILL WANT A SECOND mp40 FOR THAT TANK- i HAVE 2-mp20'S IN MY 75 GALLON-SAME FOOTPRINT AS YOUR 55. pOINT BEING, (OOPS) hate caps lock, if 1 mp20 for a 75 is not enough, 1 mp40 in a 120 wont be enough-it CAN work, but you wont be happy-IMO As you can tell I hunt and peck-I have to look at the keyboard-LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf86123 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Contradiction in reasoning-(laugh) Hey, your idea is sound, but, seriously, if he's anything like the majority of us, 1 tank just isnt enough LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks, I would love to do multiple tanks, (when I did freshwater I had 4 tanks)but $$ is super tight right now. I don't want to even spend the $40 on a temp Koralia. If I have to I will sell some stuff to get a vortech. To many dead spots now w/k1,k3 and 250gph return. Eventualy will have fish room with frag tanks like the best of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskerduck Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 If you ever get up Salem-ish area I have 3 Koralias I took out of my tank. You could use one til the funds come around for a Vortech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
