How do you like the mp60? Do you have anything else for flow?

I also bought a 220g, I have a mp40w already. Do you think 1 mp40 and one mp60 would be enough?

NjOyRiD

I really like it. it does the job.
But I will get another one, just to make sure i dont have detrius stuck on the other side somewhere
so your mp40 will be alright on the other side.

oh i see, no wonder i was looking at your tank's pic seems like all your sps corals much not to see. hey is that the 15k XM? i'd find 15k XM its almost same color as of 14k phoenix. because my old 65g im only using 1 bulb there 250w 15k XM but the color really same as the phoenix 14k.

NjOyRiD

yup it is. I like it, i will stick with them now. and 50$ a bulb is cheap. I like it...
