Vortech MP20 or MP40w For my 58 gallon Starfire?

[mckevinfang]

looking to sell my current pumps and trading them in for one of these

currently running:
- 2 Koralia 4's
- 1 Seio Prop 1000
- 1 Mag 5 SCWD close loop

which one would be a better choice the MP20 ($260) or MP40w ($370)??

mp40

or you could run 2 of those mp10s

If the tank is thicker then 3/8" you'll have to go with a MP20 or MP40.

2 mp10's would be nice but they aren't out yet?
$400 for 2 mp10's
$370 for 1 mp40
$260 for 1 mp20

 

[GreshamH]

They'll be out shortly though

2 MP10's vs 1 MP40. (I wouldn't consider the 20).

Can you run the MP10's as master/slave?
Do you think you'll upgrade? (the MP40 can follow, but will the MP10's make the 3/8" limit?)

If you don't think you'll upgrade, the MP10's look sweet. Doubt that master/slave is deal breaker for me but it may be for you?

 

[GreshamH]

I think they can do that (master>slave) but just in case I just sent Pat an email asking that.

The Eco marine website says it has the same features as he mp40w and has master slave feature. I got a deal $175 each shipped so 2 for $350
