Flow Power & Coverage
-
MP40: Up to 19,000 LPH
-
MP60: Up to 28,000 LPH
The MP60 produces a broader, deeper flow pattern. It’s perfect for tanks over 5ft or with lots of rockwork.
Noise & Efficiency
Both pumps are quiet, but the MP40 runs quieter at lower speeds, making it the better option for living-room displays.
Cost vs Value
-
MP40: More affordable, ideal for dual-side placement in 4–5ft tanks.
-
MP60: More expensive but fewer units needed in larger systems.
Conclusion: Choose the MP40 for flexibility, value, and medium systems. Opt for MP60 when power and reach are your top priorities.
