Great video.

You missed 2. Powering an under gravel filter plate..and powering an over head trickle filter. But wait!.. MJ pumps don't have the extra outlet nozzle do they! Just the one outlet? Hmm back to the drawing board?

Kenzie Jeanine - 6 years ago

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I just got my MJ-600 in the mail and had no idea what parts to use on it to use it with a wavemaker, and your video is the only place I found an answer

I just started my saltwater nuvo 20 gallon tank and I wanted to know what is the pump good for?

Terence North - 6 years ago

I never knew I could use them as wave makers. That would have saved my a small fortune. I know for future now thanks.

will this aerate the water in a saltwater tank

Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 6 years ago

Yes, the pumps can work as an aeration device and would require the use of a special outlet nozzle(included) and an airline that will draw air into the outlet of the pump.

sir im using VS 210F I LOST THE adjustment knob of the outlet pipe now bubble flow is high . how to control ?

At 1:50 the pump is hard plumbed to a reactor. What are the fittings used to connect the pump? I'm primarily interested in the intake. Are they push connects? If so I'm having a hard time finding 3/4 inch push connects.

Marine Depot Aquarium Supplies - 7 years ago

The re-circulation pump is generally hard plumbed or directly attached to a calcium reactor right out of the box. If you are making your own calcium reactor, it would really just depend on the pump and how to you are constructing it. Generally the re-circulation pumps are glued into place with Unions so that the pump can be removed for maintenance.

This pump is everything he says it is, I am using in in my 75gal tank where its runs day by day with no problems. I would suggest buying a magnetic mount as I had problems with the suction cup mounts falling off, other than that is is a great buy for your tank.

Every MJ pump I get is very noisy. Cobalt has sent me replacement impellers and still noisy. I have several of these pumps and I just use 1 to mix saltwater.

bob beas - 8 years ago

I use an mj1200 to suck out the air in HOB syphon tubes

Fred Garcia - 8 years ago

I guess they'll work for some uses when adding something as an afterthought or something that is temporary, but I find that they need frequent cleaning and can Be very noisy. I'd be most likely to use it as a weight to strap a piece of nori onto and drop it into the aquarium.

Great video, quick question is cobalt the equivalent to aquael over here in Europe?

Rory Vermeulen - 8 years ago

They do share the same heaters. (Neo)

David Beecroft - 8 years ago

the only one of these things the MJ pump does best of any of these things is powering a reactor ... everything else has a much better solution than using an MJ pump

Jeffry Johnston - 8 years ago

I use my MJ pump to mix saltwater and refill my tank during water changes.
