looking to swap out the stock pump for something new with a bit more power as I am also upgrading the nozzles to random flow generator nozzles.

Anyone have any suggestions? I have a few in mind but wanted to see what the community insights would be.

Why not use something proven and bulletproof like a Cobalt MJ900-1200, either split or per output? I ran a 20 with dual spinsreams off a single MJ1200, though I had a MP10 and then later dual jebao SW-2's in the tank for actual flow requirements. Going DC on something this small seems like it's just adding more fault areas for no tangible benefit with the MJ's out on the market that are pretty much a direct fit replacement.

I have a IM Fusion 30L, and swapped out original pump for two Eheim CompactON 1000’s, rock solid, very happy.
