  • Just purchased my Nuvo 30, will be delivered tomorrow! Stock pump will do the job for now, but down the line I’d like to upgrade the pump and add two spinstream nozzles. Stock pump is rated at 476ish GPH. I was thinking of either swapping it for a MightyJet midsize (538 GPH), or maybe adding two smaller pumps in case of ones failure, what would you guys recommend? Any Nuvo 30 owners swapped their stock pump for two smaller? Will I need additional tubing or fittings or is it an easy swap? Or should I just go with the MightyJet? Conflicted lol
 
I have the exact same tank and got 2 of the mighty jet midsize for redundancy. In hindsight, they have a smaller version, 2 of those would have been just fine.

The stock tubing was long enough for me to go to 2 pumps no problem.

Wow that’s a lot of flow! I assume you have them turned down quite a bit though. That’s good to know though, thanks! May go with two desktop sizes then
