Congratulations! I'm jealous! 2 MP40's are going to be my next big purchase when tax money comes and hopefully get the group buy going.
I don't know much but there was an earlier thread about them that I found very helpful.
This was from Reefnjunkie. He would be a helpful person to talk to. I hope that helps.
"I don't use the long or short pulse feature, I think that is the one if you want to wave motion.
I use the reef crest mode that basically switches the pump from full power to low power.
Here is a link, (scroll down just below the "making a wave" YouTube vid) you will see a graph that shows "reef crest" vs " lagoon"

I have my pumps at about 70% full power and they follow that pattern you will see.
I tried Lagoon and it was way to much movement for my tank
I think the advantage over the Tunze and I may be wrong is that they are smaller and pack more of a punch, plus all the cool different modes. I think the 40's can all be programmed from a single unit and that can be wireless-not certain on that one."
