Flow Increase for JBJ 24 Gal

[nanoreefbro]

I have a JBJ 24 Gal and I want to increase more flow in the tank. I am using the stock pump right now but I'm going to switch it to a mj 1200.. But as for the loc lines is there any place that sells them that small? I've checked online but haven't found them yet.. Thanks

I used a Rio 1700 and even a 2100 in the same spot the stock one is. When you use either one of those they come with the little valve attatchment to control the flow, and can be used the same way the stock pump is and everything is still hidden in the back area. Worked great for me when I had my a-pod.

Joseph, the MJ1200 would work quite well for your 24G NC. You're looking for 1/2" Loc-Lines to make a return manifold/close-loop, correct? They're available at AW or Custom Aquatic, I believe.

I think Joseph's talking about the pump for the return chamber. The Koralia won't work in this case.

I wanted to add an extra nozzle so that way I would have flow going in different directions..

Perfect, you should only need a 1/2" barb, y-fitting, two flare nozzles and two robo segments: 1/2" Loc-Lines (http://www.loc-line.com/products/half_index/half_index.html). CA should have the best prices on those.

No worries, good luck! It's been awhile, gotta head down there to check out your tank.

Yeah come on down.. I could use some help rewiring everything.. I switched out the T5's on the 150 gal.. and I'm running 250 watt MH on Lumenarcs. I would post pics but I dont have anymore space.. Plus there is a new Vietnamese restaurant that just opened and I wanted to check it out but no one wants to go..
