I'm also a big fan.
I just put in 2 #4's in the front of the 180gal and have 2 modded mj1200's in the back which are more directional to keep flow in the back.

Got 2 #3s and 2#4s. Seem very reliable. I dont think the 4s push harder or further than the 3s. The impeller on the 4s is just bigger so that gives more flow volume. I have a 90 gal and like the 4s. All I ever have to do is clean the impellers every 2-3 mos.
Jason: Those MJ mods are wild! Yea they will give you some flow! | |
