I think a 60 would be overkill. You wouldn't be able to run it anywhere near full output. MPs communicate via wireless - You can sync (or inti-Sync) the pumps along with numerous other variable power settings from ReefCrest (high energy/max variability) to lagoon or anything in between.Quote:

I think all you will need is a tunze wave box and then if you want you can slave it with another pump.
You have plenty of pumps. Try to locate a used tunze wave box with a controller without the pump then you will be ahead of the game. -

Honestly,I was thinking the same as you about the 60 but am glad I went with the 40/s, the 60 would have been way to much.yup I said to much power,Mark it down it doesn't happen often.The wireless controlers work by you dedicating a master and a slave ph.You can choose your max power and wave patterns ,it's pretty simple,you can and even have them synch together or not.Also you might want to call ypsi FD they beat all online prices when I got mine, LMK and I'll make time to answer your questions and show what ya need to know.You won't regret this purchase/If you look at the fts in my post you hardley notice the 40's the uniballs took a tom of room and I no longer worrie about stray voltage from PH tooQuote:

The vortechs are my best purchase so far. I ran koralias before and will never go back. And the mp's are upgradeable and you can rebuild them!Quote:

I have a MP60 that you could borrow to get a feel for the pump.
I don't think I would be happy with only one on a 6 footer, I had it setup that way once and I added pumps on the other end. But everyones setups are different as are expectations. :)

i have a 24x24x72 tank. two mp40's work wonders. i have them connected to a Neptune WXM. this gives me the ability to switch the modes that the pumps are on hourly. i also set the pumps to sync and anti-sync throughout the day. my water patterns are always changing. personally i would steer you away from the 60's unless your tank was 30+ deep, too much undertow

i would suggest a line on one wall of 5-6 MP60's. also remove all sand, rock, coral, fish, and any other lifeforms you would like to keep other than saltwater(most of that will have to go to).
