Anyone using any of the smaller Jebao gyre pumps like the SCP-70 on 3/4" glass? Wondering if the magnets hold or if you need to go with the larger pumps. Debating adding additional flow with gyres on the back wall. Thinking the tank is getting more flat zones as the coral grows in more.

I also have an old Tunze 6105 sitting around doing nothing, but the magnet isn't strong enough. Either need to get the 6205.500 magnet upgrade to use it or go with another pump. It might be nice to use what I already have if possible. @cromag27 will one of your octopods work for this function?

The tunze 6105 is a single wet side circular magnet and a matching external magnet. Looks like the dry side magnet extension (replacement) has these dimensions: ‎2.75 x 0.8 x 2.75 inches.

Ahh yes. Sorry I have been thinking of two options to add a pump.

I’d like to use my existing tunze 6105 if possible since it’s sitting here on the shelf. The magnet is too weak for 3/4 glass after upgrading the tank size.
