Aquarium Advice Addict
i have a 55gal freshwater aquarium with cichlids, i have an emperor 400 marineland filter and i would like a marineland ph to match or any brand really, thanks in advance guys!
I have a Marineland Maxi-Jet 400 and honestly am not that impressed. I didn't buy it for my main tank, though; I use it as a circulation pump in my saltwater mixing bucket. For pure utility, yes, it works. But it's big, and a helluva lot noisier than my Koralia Nano 425s that I have in my tank.
I use 2 of the aqueon 500 pumps one at each end and angled downward one towards front and one towards back and they keep a good current and don't let anything settle on my sand. Had the 950 and its a monster. Too much flow. They're not huge but not small and are silent and easy to clean. Here's their site. Can get at any chain store. In pic u can see them

Canister. Ohhhh are you looking to use w an under gravel? If so what substrate and what sort of fish?
I love my 425s, and will be adding a 550 to my FW tank (which has 2 penguin 200 HOBs).
425 what..? were getting a little off topic guys lol i want a good ph for my tank and where should i put it in the tank and where should it be pointed..?
Koralia 425...the little brother of the one you mentioned.
I'm running a Koralia 750 in my 60g along with a Fluval 406 and a AC 110 and its perfect. Keeps the sand pretty clear. Easy to adjust where you want the pressure to go.
If you wanted movement I would face it upwards if possible and have it on left side I have a spray bar small hob and big hob so I don't have any dead spots
