anyone think I could cram it in the corner of my 6 gallon nanocube?? it uses less watts then my microjet powerhead and has 4x the flow, I havent seen one in person yet so Im not sure if it would work

I have a 2 in a BioCube 29 and it's almost too much. Looked like it was going to rip stuff right off the rocks. I wound up pointing it mostly at the surface. Just the backflow is enough for me.

I've got a couple montipora sps, some xenia, and lps. Only way I would think about this is for an all sps tank.

did it raise your temp at all< i dont care if it looks big I just need more flow for my SPS while keeping the temps down

no not mine yet its only been 2 days yet i run two pc fans in a canopy(one blows in one blows out) with a 250 mh and that keeps my temps down even in the dog days of summer but the evap sure is a pain in the arse

two small mjs in a 6 gallon should suffice

I run a minjet 606 for the return-(153 GPH-6 watts) and a microjet 450-(117GPH-7w) in the display

would a bigger pump in your return be an option??

I dont think it would fit,the next size would be a maxi jet 900 but they arent shaped like the rectangles like the minijets,unless I can find a different brand with more flow
