i'd replace that stock pump with a maxi-jet 1200. 295 gph instead of 106 and it fits just fine :). nano-cube stock filtration also SUCKS. remove EVERY piece of filter media it came with. use the following instead:

 

chamber 1:

-100 mL Seachem Purigen

-100 mL Seachem Seagel

-filter floss, small amount changed weekly

 

chamber 2:

-fill with live rock rubble (you can also put the ceramic bio-rings that came with the tank in here, the live rock will seed them and they will become just like the rubble).

 

chamber 3:

-heater

-maxi-jet 1200 pump replacement as mentioned above

 

addtional mods:

-surface skimmer

-inline chiller made for nano-cubes if temperature becomes an issue
