Pump Upgrade on a 14g Biocube

[herefishy]

I am wanting to increase the water flow in my 14g Biocube but not wanting to give any precious real estate over to an unsightly powerhead. So I thought that I could perhaps upgrade the circulation pump in the back chamber giving more flow to the tank. I believe the stock pump delivers 135gph so I would want to increase that by at least double. Does anyone know what pumps would fit in the back chamber? Anyone modified a 14g in this way that can share some knowledge?

The maxijet pumps will fit, as will some of the smaller RIO pumps. I am currently running a MJ900 in my BC14 and it works well.

Do you find you have enough flow? Which MJ900 The 2" by 2 3/4" pump (green) or the MJ900 (black) powerhead?

I also have a Koralia 1 in the tank for additional flow. I use the black maxijet 900.
