What’s the best return pump for 29 bio cube Aio ? I currently have a IM mighty Jet midsize but have issues with impeller stalls during middle of night. It seems like the white disk on front by impeller seems to not move freely to allow impeller to move freely. I soaked in citric acid etc finally frees up then happens again a day or 2 later. I can’t seem to find the impeller itself for sale anywhere. So I’m looking for something like it but more reliable. The pump is only 6 months old . Thank you for any help!

I'm sorry to hear about your challenges. I have had good luck with the comparable small Sicce pumps so you may want to consider those in your search. Good luck with whatever you choose!

I've been running the IM MightyJet in my BC32 without issue, it's been excellent for me. Can you get IM to warranty it?

We run the Jebao DCS1200 in my wife's tank, but haven't had it long enough to call it reliable yet.
