Flow in new 6g jbj nano cube...?

[Jadams]

I was wondering what type of pump everyone is using on the 6g Nano Cubes? I bought one today, and am using the stock pump. Needless to say, the output is VERY slow and i am lookling for a better option?

What is the biggest-most powerfull pump that will fit down in the back "sump" of the 6g cube?

Thanks for the help!

I'm not really familiar with the nano cubes as i've never had one, but what are the dimensions of the chamber that the stock pump is in now? And how many gph does the stock pump put out?

Mini-jet 606

I just put a maxijet400 in the top left corner of mine and now the flow is great. I didnt think about changing the stock pump because it will still just be one directional flow in the tank =/

the stock pump is a piece of junk though the minijet runs cooler too

Tried Maxi-Jet 600, replaced it by Mini-Jet 606. Much better.

When I go to my JBJ 6, I'd like to run my nano remora for all the filtration and circulation. It has a maxi-Jet 900. Is this too much flow for a JBJ 6 gallon?

 

[shag26272]

does it fit on the NC6? I think one of the sappshire skimmers fit

For pumps I am running 2 Maxi mini 606's in the 3rd chamber and 1 Tunze mini in the tank, these are run off a wavemaker.
