never replaced my stock pump, i got a Korila 1 and plan to get another.. I im sure with the 2nd i will have just enough flow... Ive also seen alot of peeps just upgrade the stock pump with what u mentioned

Generally the pump that comes with aio's are crap. They usually use a lot of power and still don't have good flow. Just get the mj900, and 1 or 2 Koralias. The mj1200 uses 2x the power of the mj900 and not a significant increase in flow.

I can't find that data anywhere, the JBJ stock pump is only 8 watts!? I don't get what else is causing high heat in my system, I mean, theres nothing there but the pump to cause heat, and ambient is 74/75, tank is at 80.5-83.8 ......
Do you think if I got a MJ-900 or even a MJ-600 with the "Sea-Flo" mod it would be too strong?

open the feeding lid on your tank. you may end up needing a chiller though since those nanocubes run extremely hot.

That's the problem with mine I guess, the hood... However the hood is also good because I have carpet and it keeps carpet hairs out of the water
Any1 have any other ideas on mods to help with the heat?
Just curious... how would carpet hairs get into your tank?? I have carpet too and I don't seem to have this issue... You must be rough on your place...
I don't kick the carpet after a hard day at work...

Well I'm stuck with the hood with the JBJ and like having a hood, so i was hoping of figuring out a way to lower temperature without having to spend so much money on a chiller
I guess floating carpet hairs, not saying they would, just was thinking they might.... lol
they won't.... go hoodless, get a metal halide, love your tank, add any corals you want! A metal halide was the best upgrade I ever did for my 20long a few years ago.. no joke without changing any corals and just the light, I had people coming over and asking if I got a new tank... I guess it looked so different with having a good light instead of the PC junk I had that they thought I had sold that tank and got a new one. You'll like going hoodless with a new light, it looks sweet, we're not gonna lie to you because you haven't done anything wrong to us.
Maybe if you don't want to change lights or remove the hood entirely you could cut holes in it and put in 80mm or 120mm computer fans on there... just a thought.

Attach an aluminum heat sink to the back of the tank to dissipate heat or a fan pointed right at the tank. Or add both. Is that tank glass or Acrylic?
