BioCube 14 with Vortech MP10?

Guys,
Do you think I could run an MP10 in a BioCube 14? Overkill or Dial it down and go for it?

In fact I would rather have one in a tank over any other powerhead due to the fact that you can change up the flow with it so much.

I use an MP10 in a 6G Fluval, dialed way down. Seems to move a lot of water without even at low speed.

Installed MP10QD today with Reeflink. Set a few different modes throughout the day. 15% or more seems to kick up sand. Set all of them to 10%.

Na... Been there done that. Had a larger 220 Reef going back 4 years ago with all Ecotech Gear. Radion .... MP40's. Just doing this tank as a little taste to see if I still enjoy it. Damn the Vortechs got better. The quite drive is silent. The lights look to be the same. I think I had gen 2 radions. I presume they have come a long way too.... The software being Web based is better I suppose.
I've never rarely been onto frags. But getting a smaller tank that's all you can really fit....
