    Would one MP10 be enough for a 40 breeder with about 410gph return? I want to cut down on the clutter in the tank and thought having the return and just an MP10 going at about 700gph reef crest mode would be enough for SPS closest to the pump and LPS and softies on the far end.

    Yes, it will be plenty. I ran a MP10 on my 40 breeder for quite awhile with SPS all over the tank.

    You should be fine. I have a MP10 on tank with almost those same dimensions and I get a 3/4" wave. There's not really any dead spots in my tank. I can't say enought good things about Vortech.
