Mercuryne Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I found a Oceanic Biocube 8Gallon under the tree yesterday for my office. (i have an established 28G already( put the new one together and water tested it. No leaks however.. not really happy with the output of the stock pump.. anybody have a recommendation on what pump will fit in the chamber and give some good flow? Thanks Mercuryne Link to comment
GioReef Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 You can try the maxi-jet 600. It will fit and give you good flow. Or the 900 but that might not fit, and it might be way to much flow for the eight gallon. You are at 106gph right now, the 600 will get you to 160gph. Link to comment
rainydave Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I swapped a MJ606 into my BC8. It gives good flow even with a Hydor-Flo attached. Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Depends on the size of the chamber. A Maxijet may not fit but the Mini-Jet will. Like rainydave said, a Mini-Jet 606 will pump 82–153gph. It's adjustable, but I'd probably run it full on. Marine Depot has them for $17.99. I swapped a MJ606 into my BC8. It gives good flow even with a Hydor-Flo attached. Did you have to adapt the tubing? Or did it slip right on? Link to comment
Mercuryne Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thanks for the responses everyone... i started with a JBJ 28G.. and the stock pumps were really sufficient.. just not feeling much push from the little stock pump that came with it.. I think the MJ600 will be a nice replacement. Appreciate you all chiming in. i am curious about the tubing though.. will it fit? Link to comment
