I received a box of rocks today.

Thanks all. The pump that failed is still making a louder noise than the other. As I said it was my back up. Since I need new back ups anyway, I am thinking I may just pick up a couple of new MJ1200s and start fresh with the move.

I would recommend Sicce Syncra Silent pumps - good solid brand and they have barbed output connectors for the tubing - I used these in my JBJ 65g tanks (in the reef I used one Sycra 1.5 + a Mighty Jet Midsize DC pump)

Ha! I am not a coordinated human specimen. In elementary school I had a special gym class. Years later it occurred to me I was the only one in the class without Down syndrome.

I second Sicce pumps -- They last forever and don't fail.

I forget, do you have a sump or is it an AIO in the back? A Sicce 1.0 to 2.0 would be perfect.

 

[NY_Caveman]

AIO with dual returns

 

[Rakie]

A single Sicce 2.0 would be plenty and not give you trouble.

The Maxi-Jets aren't meant to have back pressure, so they will definitely fail as a return pump given time. I use mine for mixing water mostly lol

 

[NY_Caveman]

Hmmm... interesting point. I did not think of that. I actually got a couple of MJ 1200s pretty cheap and will use them. If they fail too quickly, I will switch to dual Sicce 1.5s probably. I like the idea of the dual pumps and do not have any space constraints.

 

[Rakie]

Yeah, they recommend Cobalts in place of MJ's for anything like that. Full disclosure... I had just put in a UV, and pulled out a brand new Cobalt MJ600 that I had gotten about a year ago... Gave it a nice good wash, rinsed it in RODI water, hooked it up... Lemon. Was a real cup check lol
