300 in one container? geez... how big was that container? I have a maxijet in each which has probably a little over 100 each. Seems to be enough flow. How long did you have yours in the container for?
I used two of 50 or 55g brute containers and what was left over I put in a rubbermaid 30 gallon. I ended up keeping the liverock in the containers for two weeks. But within 3 or 4 days of getting it it started rotting away with only one maxijet 600. I ended up adding another powerhead and every couple of days I would rotate the liverock, taking it all out and putting what was at the bottom on top and vice versa. The rock ended up recycling by the end of two weeks, but I couldn't get rid of the smell at the beginning. What messed me up to was one of my powerheads malfuntioned and there was no circulation for a couple of hours. It was really bad since I had the rock in my garage and you could smell from the street. What helped me get rid of the smell was the carbon from the group buy Loserkidz did awhile back. I ended up putting like 5lbs of it to get rid of the smell and it worked.
