    Ok so should be delivered tomorrow and i want to know where to put it.

    I have included a pic of the tank so you can see the rock work, not sure if its bad to have it pointed at the rock work, will that mess up current?

    I have 2 750s and a 550 evo in there now, so i am thinking mp10 on 1 end, 2 750s on other end, and then the 550 in the back.

    What mode is the best? the 750s and 550 will be constant so i do not know how this will affect the function of the mp10.

    any ideas?

    should i just stick it directly in the middle of either side? or higher so it is above the rock work?

    i run my mp40 on reef crest mode from the right side only running at about 35% power as its in a small tank the fish seem to be healthier for the added water flow

    Putting it on one end, and the 2 750's on the other should be fine. The modes don't really apply with one MP10. Most of the modes need 2 or 3 MP10's to utilize the function completely. Save up, grab another to replace the 750's and put them on anti-sync Reef Crest mode, opposite sides. You'll have more than enouugh flow, and random too!

    Yeah sorry...didn't get the 75. 2 MP10's can work for a 75. An MP40 would be better. You could go with 2 MP10's on the sides, Reef Crest mode, and keep the 2 750's, put them on the back angled toward the center to create new flow patterns. That would be good for a 75.
