yeah im using the maxi-jet 900 on my 10g. i used to have my maxi-jet900 with my 1200 (295gph) but i aimed it at each other so it wasnt soo bad. i took out the 1200 since it was kicking sand everywhere and creating sand mountains...
i had a rio 120 but i stoped using it since it made a clicking noise...so im using that to mix salt...
the point is 230gph is more then enough. if i could i would make a network of tubes to divide that 230 gph.
yeah that is a great "circulation" pump but much of a power head...
when the flow in lets say a maxi-jet gets jammed throught a 1/2" hole that kills a lot of the water flow...
the hydor pump is great tho. but thats pretty much all u can use it for...circulation
sure why not. since its a circulation pump it shouldnt kick up too much sand.
fyi just handle the shroud with care because they are extremely fragile. if i had one i would make my own and maybe zip tie it so i can take it apart to clean it.
