Best power head to place behind rock

Crusader · Oct 8, 2010

I re did my rock work on my 30 cube. I moved my rock work from the back glass. I left space for good water flow through and around the rock. I am looking to place a small powerhead behind the rock to keep good flow. I am looking for a small reliable pump.

I in all honesty go with a Maxi mod kit with a maxi jet 900,I love them kits and the pumps once they are modded,cant beat them.

I love the maxi mods myself... I ran them on my 220 untill I finally got some mp40s lol...
Anywho I'm thinking it might be over kill on a 30 cube so you can either shave the impeller down a little bit like I did on my solana when I had it or maybe go with a korallia 2 or 3 if that don't work for ya...

Ya,it might be over kill if you dont hav erock covering it,generally,if its behind the rocks,there would be some coverage,but that does depend on your rock work.

Maxi Jet company has some smaller pumps out there,might check into those.I think they run about $20 or so,maybe more,only a bit.

They no longer make the K2-K3,so you would have to go with the newer modle the lowerst GPH is 750 IIRC.
