MP-40 Opinions?

[Cash]

I am about to pull the trigger and get a MP40. I am getting tired of playing the aim game with 2 K4's. The problem with the K4's is im getting alot of sand bed movement, I think from them fighting each other. Will I have the same problem with the MP40? Also should 1 MP40 be enough for a 90g? I am hoping to only have to use the MP40.
I am probably ordering it this Monday
Thanks

one should be more then enough I would set it higher in the tank on one side and pulse it so you create a wave effect

the hight will minimize the sand disturbance and wave effect will actualy stir everything better then just solid on flow minimize dead spots

The MP40 is a quality product and will blow you away once you get it in the tank.

I have 2 in my 100 gal, love them!! 1 is probably enough they create a nice undertow my sand moved for a little while but its all good now.

I hate to say this ...but I have had nothing but problems with my Vortech since I bought it. With that said, EcoTech stands behind their product and will resolve the problems. If you buy an extra Vortech for a back-up it may not bother you having it break every other month. I'm on the third repair in six months.

The external/wide flow pump concept is great, but it's unreliability is a real hassle. I attribute some of my tanks problems due to the fact it wasn't operational for at least 10 days each time it's needed repairs. In retrospect I should have kept the two tunze 6055's and the Neptune Aquasurf controller I previously used.

Cash as u know I have a mp10 and an mp20. Love them both. Not a single issue, and very easy to clean and service. Instead of popping for a second one spend the extra dooh on the battery back up. They are now designed in house rather than by IceCap and are said to be more efficient and have longer run times. This was a major factor for me!

This is a solution to a completely different problem though. If the pump isn't working it still won't work with the battery backup.

Andy also has an MP-40 and his has broke down twice since he got it in early December.

I know, I was just adding that point incase it had been overlooked.

I have heard of some issues and oddly its always been the 40 I hear of.??

My MP20 had a controller issue. Under 1 year old.
