I was cleaning My 24gal jbj nano when i plugged in the pump it did not start I pulled it out took it apart cleaned it it now makes noise i think it is going and want to have a backup. can some tell me what pump comes with it jbj website said it is a 290 gph but no name on the pump it said jbj only or what pump will fit and if changing the pump should i get a higher GPH I have enclosed some pix of the pump!

thanks

i would try to take it apart again.... run it in a bucket of rodi water or wateva water u use before setting it up on the tank again to see if you have to make any adjustments.... maybe it could be the impeller thats making the noise... check it out........

yea but i still want to get a back up !

Is it a pressure rated pump? If not, a Maxi Jet 1200 runs 298 gph. Seems like it would be a suitable match.

cibo, happaned to me when I had the nano stock pump for the 12g. I literally just plugged that thing in, put it in the tank and just banged it around a few times and it started going again. Just shake it around a bit.

most of the people on nano-reef have swapped out their stock pump for the mj1200. its a pretty safe bet.

thanks everyone.... It looks like a power head what do i have to do to it to make it fit?

 

[chazertis]

it should fit in the chamber. just unhook the pump in there and swap it out. reconnect the fittings. very easy once u just try it

good luck

A few friends have the 24 nano cube and they all swap out the stock pump for a MaxiJet 1200, much more reliable. See Steelhealr's thread in the "Beginners Section" over on nano-reef.com.
