I know that the max is suppose to be 9.5mm but can I check if anyone has tried it on thicker glass (like 12mm)? I have 1 which I'm thinking of using but lazy to take out from current tank to put into my this tank if it doesn't work in the first place...

Appreciate any advice or experiences :)

I tried ok when new but after a year or two, it tend to drop off ocassionally :wacko: . I think the magnet start to weaken but for 10mm no issue.. ^_^ !

No problem. I am also using MP10 for my 12mm thk 3x2x2. I bought from Madpets and Ken removed a thin layer of ruberrise skin on the magnet surface, guessed to make it stronger. I find MP40 for 3ft tank abit overkill. Of course you can lower the power but then what is the point.

Stick a thin layer of double side tape to hold the dry part on the side.. magnetic force should still run the propeller..

Just to conclude this topic, the mp10 has no issues attaching and running the pump... Unfortunately, it is seriously underpowered for what I need... Mp40 here I come!

On a side note, zoa, lps should be fine with it...

Thanks all!

Hi all, how's the noise produced as it'll be in my room cause i read that noise was an issue especially on higher power and say if im thinking of Mixed reef next time with SPS, would mp10 suffice for it or adding 2 mp10 should be good? My new tank is 3 by 2 feet and with grade 0 sand and rock scaped like the tank on the left side of Aquamarin's door(rocks with caves lined in the middle). Thank u all..:)

Fresh fishes and inverts! What's next? To the salty side of marine of course!:)

Noise is really not smthg to be overly concern about... At max u get a buzzing sound... 3ft my guess is 2 mp40s... I'm using a mp40 & mp10 as slave w another tunze 6015 for dead spot...

Hope it helps :)

Would just an mp10 be alittle under powered for mainly lps tank for now? Like i must rev it up to higher end of the power to suffice?

Depending on your return pump flow... You will need to see if your lps are swaying... They dun need excessive flow but will need to see them gently moving....

Imo at least add another wavemaker like tunze
