I'm wanting to add some flow to my biocube 14. I want to leave the stock pump. Right now i have three MJ's 400 in the tank. I wanted to replace one of them with either a MJ 600 or 900. Which one would you guys suggest? will the 900 make too much flow? Or is there a better option for a cheap powerhead? thanks

I upgraded my stock pump with a MJ900 in my BC14. About twice the flow but am thinking I should have put the MJ1200 in instead. I dont have any other pumps though.

i was thinking 900 i just didn't know if that 230 gph would be too strong in that small of an area...

Go for the 900

If it's too much, you can remove another 400, or put a hydor-flow on it... I'd also try just replacing your stock pump with the 900 and see how you like it
