QUestion on replacing stock pump on an AP 24 with a Maxijet

[pirate_129]

I am planning on replacing the stock pump on my Aquapod 24 with a maxijet. My question is whether I should replace the stock with a MJ 1200 or replace the stock with a MJ 900 and add a MJ 400 outside the back compartmented area to stimulate water flow? Any of you have experience with either of these methods?
I have seen several folks suggesting to replace the stock with a MJ 900 alone, but I was hoping to increase my rate of filtration rather than decreasing it, hence the MJ 1200 idea. I can also see the value of replacing the stock with a 900 and adding a 400 on the other side of the tank to help avoid dead spots in the flow. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I replaced the stock pump w/ the mj1200... It works great!!
No dead spots and no unsightly pump in the tank.

I replaced my stock pump with a RIO1100 and put a loc line splitter on it. I also have 2 additional submersable pumps in the tank too. A Rio800 that circulates behind my LR and a MaxiJet...??? hmmm now I forgot.. anyway a small maxijet to help with the circulation in the front and for my corals that require alot of flow...
