So I've been planing to order a Rio 2100 along with some sand for my malawi tank, but I found out my LFS was going out of business and selling things extra cheap. So, instead of getting a Rio I ended up getting a Maxi-Jet 900. It was the most powerful submersible pump they had so I thought "okay, why not?".
My question is, will the maxi-jet 900 be powerful enough for under gravel jets. They're purpose is to create current in the tank and supposedly make it so you never have to gravel syphon by using a water pump hooked up to pvc pipe. The rio pump that was recommended to use is rated at over 600 GPH and my Maxi-Jet is at 230 GPH. Me and my wallet have been arguing over this one, I would like to just go get the Rio 2100 anyway but that costs more money and I cant return the other pump since my LFS was moving. So, will this work?
