Last week I had the unique opportunity to visit the Lightning Maroon Clownfish in Duluth, MN.

So I opted to go bigger and got ...

To give a bit more background, I am planning to place the MP10s on the tank's sidewalls. That's why I was thinking I could get away with using two MP10s and then just syncing them to be alternately on and off. Any suggestions? Should I use two MP40s instead? One MP40? As guidance, I would ...
