BigART Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Will a Penguin 1140 fit into chamber 3 on a JBJ 24 NC? The 1140 has 300GPH at only 11 watts compared to the MJ1200 295GPH at 20watts. If that doesn't fit I think I might step down to the MJ900. With the MJ1200 + (2)Koralia Nano's I'm putting out 27watts and my heat is getting up to 83F. With only the oem JBJ return pump which is 16 watts I stayed between 76-78F. I figure if I drop down some watts on the return pump I can get my temps back down. I found this data on the interent: aqua clear 50 - 270GPH is 12w Pengquin 1140 - 300GPH is 11w mj900 - 230GPH is 8.5w mj1200 - 295GPH is 20w JBJ SP1-1000 - 266GPH is 16w Rio 4HF - 260GPH is 10w Rio Plus 1000UL - 271GPH is 13w Azoo 1200 - 317GPH is ?w Koralia Nano - 240GPH 3.5w Any thoughts??? I know some of you said go with the MJ900, and now I know why. I just like the better flow of the MJ1200 or at least the stock pump is 266GPH. Link to comment
