Msxi jets are considered one of the best brands. I run 2 900's in my 37 gal for circulation. Not quite sure if the 400's can be adjusted or not maybe some else will have more info on them.

i think i'm gonna get a 1200 i heard that it's good and i have a 55g so i think the flow from the 400 is not enough.
dont know much about powerheads anyway still learning

I bought a Maxijet 400 for circulating my saltwater mixup/water change bucket and was very disappointed with the flow rate it is quite slow, should have gone with the 600.. BTW I have two 900's in my 55 and love them..

good advice. use 900s. they have almost as much flow as 1200s

smbuddy,
very interesting point... I didnt realize the 1200's would be so much higher consumers of current... in "watts / gph" the 900's are a way better buy... thanks!!!
