hey my pump just died on me and im curious if anyone has replaced these or if anyone has a replacement? i wouldnt mind upgrading to a larger pump but if im in that direction does anyone have a suggestion as what i can throw in there? (size wise)

I used both a MJ 900 and a MJ1200. Both did a great job on my 29

upgrade to a maxijet. i am running a 900 in my biocube and it was the first thing i did. also look into a hydor flo. 40 together and a great upgrade

so the 900 and the 1200 fit in the back no problem? and connect to the original hose going through the plastic? yeah i already have a hydor in there for sure!

I remember when I had mine a long time ago I used a 1200 and added another hose for better flow. Loved it too

I run an mj1200 and an mj900 on my 'cubes...

the 1200 is the way to go IMO, with a hydor deflector it really creates some good wave per dollar action.
