The Koralia Nano Evolutions are available in two different flow rates, 240 and 425 GPH. Thye are designed specifically with wavemakers in mind and are a fraction of the cost of a MP-10. You could get two nano Evolutions ($24 ea.)and a Reefkeper Lite controller ($95) standard with 4 controllable outlets and a temperature probe for about what one MP-10 sells for and have more functionality. Quieter too.
I have two Evo 1400's on a RKL in my 5 foot 100G reef and they are the first powerheads I have found that actually disturb the Southdown sand at the far end of the tank. Over the last 6 years I have tried two different modded MJ's, three sizes of Seios, the Koralia K4's and K3's in different combinations, the new Sicce Voyager 3's which are also controller friendly and now the Evos. Lots of flow for only 6 actual measured watts each on my Kill A Watt meter and I have to be standing there watching them to see when they switch they are so quiet. Very happy!
Size wise they are much smaller than the old K series too. This photo is a Sicce Voyager #3 (1200GPH), Evo 1400 (1400GPH) and an old Koralia K1 (4000GPH) side by side. Note the new Evo 1400 is not much larger than the old K1.
I sold my K4's and K3 before I received the Evo so don't have side by side pics but they are much smaller.
