14g Biocube ,What is a good replacement pump
Does any one know how much GPH the stock pump pumps?
I would like to increase flow in tank . Any good suggestions on the perfect pump for this size tank?

I think people r switching to a MaxiJet 600,or 900.

The stock pump does 140 gph.
The Maxijet 600 does 160 gph.
The Maxijet 900 does 230 gph.

The actual volume of water in the 14 gallon tank (with 15 lbs LR and 2-3" sand bed) is around 11-12 gallons.

Check the recommended turnover rate for the type coral you wish. Some like more flow, some less.

The stock pump gives you a turnover rate of 11.5-12.75/hour.

Maxijet 600 = 13.3-14.5 / hour
Maxijet 900 = 19-20 / hour

Thanks blktang ,that is what I heard.
Thanks for doing the math, darth! I actually have an extra maxijet 400 hidden behind the LR but I still have a deadspot right in the front .I might try the 900 but I heard it drains the pump compartment too fast and i dont think the 600 would make much of a difference.
Decisions,decisions!
