airangel Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'd check I think was marine depot site, may have what the head heights are. My stand is 38" tall and I've got a 24g AP , I'm using a 5g Home Depot bucket, the MJ1200 works great for me, you probably could go with the MJ600, check their website for pumping heights Aquarium Systems Maxi-Jet Powerhead Reef Aquarium Model V/Hz Wattage Max Flow Max Pumping Height Dimensions MP400 120V/60Hz 5W 106gph (400lph) 29" 3.5" L x 2" W x 3.00" H MP600 120V/60Hz 7.5W 160gph (600lph) 53" 3.5" L x 2" W x 3.00" H MP900 120V/60Hz 8.5W 230gph (870lph) 46" 3.5" L x 2" W x 3.25" H MP1200 120V/60Hz 20W 295gph (1110lph) 69" 3.5" L x 2" W x 3.25" H Link to comment

Phixion Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 MJ606 on my JBJ ATO. Lifts the water up about 4 feet, but still tops off quickly and efficiently. Link to comment
