I just got a MJ 1200 which I don't have with me at the moment. As I'm reading some other posts, I'm wondering if it will fit in the third chamber in my 6 gallon JBJ NC. I also have some MJ 900's at home, but I think they are the same size, just lower thoroughput.

If the MJ's don't fit, can anyone recommend an upgraded powerhead that does?

i would imagine it would fit, though the 1200 is going to be a crazy amount of water for that tank.

if for some reason it doesnt work you can check out the minijets like this one:

Yeah, that would be a lot of flow by itself. I would like to add one of these to my tank:

I have a couple, but the turning of the gears absolutely kills the flow rate with the powerhead that comes with the nano. The hydro-flo + an overkill ph should = the right amount of flow, but I need to experment.
