    I have 1 MP40 and is the only powerhead in my tank.  i would like to know what your favorite modes are.   I been playing mostly with tidal swell and nutrient transport modes  but also know those would work better with at least one more vortech.

    I just have mine on constant on the lowest setting... Anything else and I have a sandstorm. But then again its in a 40L. I thought about putting my second one in there, but I think that would be overkill LOL.

    For the SPS tank I like the reefcrest mode.

    For the LPS tank I like the lagoon mode.

    I usually turn my speeds up or down every couple of days just to make things more random yet.

    Im wondering if i should lower it down the tank, it is currently about 4-6 inchs from the top. I just find it hard to believe this one power head is supplying enough flow for a sps tank.

    You probably will want another one at some point. I have 2 on my 90 and am thinking about adding another or a pair of tunze.

    450 bucks is hard to swallow is all but I know you are right.  I can see the benefit of having two facing eachother , and then a k3 or 2 on the back bottom pushing up.
