helldust Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hi, I having a 2.5FT cube tank 12mm glass, would MP10 be enough? Heard MP10 cannot be used on 12mm glass thickness? Any bros using it on 12mm glass? Or will an MP40 be overkill for my tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tropic Posted May 9, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would go for mp40. Can tone down if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnemoneKeeping Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 if you only use one then mp40 can on full blast will not overkill Quote Tank: 3 x 1.5 x 1.7 ft (LxBxH) Sump-less Skimmer: Redsea airstone skimmer Lighting: 4 x T5 HO AquaZonic Wavemaker: 2 x MP10ES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member ryanlio Posted May 9, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yes. MP10 good for up to 10.. I used to run mp40 on my 3ft lps.. too strong So had to tune down at most up to 20%.. So kinda defeats the purpose. Y don't u consider others? Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameshong Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 if you only use one then mp40 can on full blast will not overkill For 2.5ft, MP40 full blast will get Sandstorm if tank bedded with fine sand !

Jameshong Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 but also dont forget its a 2.5ft cube It is length of the tank count not the width. Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. - Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameshong Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 guess using mp40 is really overkill for my tank so anyone using MP10 on 12mm glass? Better not. Tried MP10 on my 10mm 3ft tank with a layer of 1mm acrylic sheet and it drop off easily especially with full blast mode. Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply.

Jameshong Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Thks. Guess I gotta look at other wavemaker options. MP40 is ok for your tank as long you reduce it to 70-80% ! IMHO, max speed will shorten the motor/mechanical life for long run so 80% is just nice.. Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply.

tling Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 guess using mp40 is really overkill for my tank so anyone using MP10 on 12mm glass? I did use mp10 on 12mm glass but I remove the layer of foam at both side. May drop if not align properly but I manage to get it to stick.

SRC Member ryanlio Posted May 17, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted May 17, 2012 Maybe if u fixed it to a position it might work for u.. try to "supplement" sticking to glass with those 5mm double side tape or blue tack.. perhaps that will work since it works via magnetic force.
