Knock off / Clone MP10- MP-40

Yeah for me it's mainly when making a standing wave. You want as much contrast between the max pulse and the min pulse to get a really good wave going. When I had Tunze pumps and had them set to zero, they would occasionally lock up and were all herky jerky turning all the way off then on with each pulse.

Edit - I am using Jebao SOW20s now for a wave, and they are still very effective, for anyone reading
I use two of these one at each end at a 45 degree angle mid depth

Tossed them in about 3 years ago never been outa tank with zero issues just hit with toothbrush once in a while and knock off them pesky
Vermetidae worms!
For pulse wave current I have an older tunze turbelle 500-2500 gph about 8 inches below angled up on one end since I don’t like standing waves lol..at this angle the water flow bounces off the top midway and redirects it down bottom other end of tanks sorta circling back down low.. Combined with the jeboas mixes everything up nicely for my taste plus zero detritus settling anywhere with a bunch of pooping tangs!
 
I think I’m going to make the jump and order some of these for the new tanks… I want 4 MP40s but that’d be like 2k+ total. I can get 4 of the DMP40s for the price of 1 MP40. I feel like that’s a good bargain. Many of the reviews I’ve seen look good so not too nervous about it, especially after @The_Lazy_Reefer tried them out
Look up KalamazooReefer on IG or YT. But from everything I've been seeing, they are well received. And MP wet sides work with them too.
