Will a Penguin 1140 fit?

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.
