Your goal is to turn your water about 10-15 times times each gal. of water. 75g x 10 = 750 gph
the maxi-jet 900 are about 250 gph, so like mentioned before you would need 3. Hope this helps.

will the fish do ok w/that much current??

 

[tony detroit]

yes as long as it is dispersed among a few pumps instead of one jet stream

 

[mxracer572501]

so do you think that I should do 3 maxi-jet 900 or 3 maxi-jet 1200 that will be 690gph V 885gph the more the better right?:happyfish
