    I have a 50 gal 36x18x18 tank with 2 MP10 wave makers in the tank.

    I have them set as slave and master.

    I want to set them to make a wave.

    I saw a video on you tube showing the steps to create a wave with a single MP10.

    My question is, is it the same set up with a slave and master, I would think one would counteract the other... do they work in sync ?

    Is there a special set up for 2 MP10s ? or is it the same set up as this link ..

    Ive tried many settings and one MP is way harder than two MPs to make waves.

    Here is the vid of my MP40s on my 90 gallon.

    They are set to master and slave, anti-synced. One on one side and the other one the other side. The vid is running short pulse mode (blue on the master). The strength of the pump is set to 5 from max, the duration is set to 5 from min.

    Sorry to kinda sidebar here, but Ive been considering getting a mp10 for my 28 gal and I cant decide if its worth it. Any thoughts? I have a few dead spots and thought it might help.
