is this to much flow combined with a marineland 400maxi jet in a 40 gal breeder?

I am using this pump on a 30 gallon long it works well. I wish i would have bought the next size up and turned the flow down

Def not too much flow..very adjustable to suit your needsI have mine in a 20L with a hydor koralia also.I also have one in a 29 bio cube I like this wave maker a lot

It is a very powerful unit, but I think it would be perfect for a 40 gallon breeder.

I don't think that you can ever have to much flow in my tank I am running this plus a nano wavmaker and an upgraded pump on a jbj nano.

hmm... i'm not familiar with the 400 intensity. I have a wp-10 and a wp-25 in my 50g cube and it's at the maximum level of flow. I have to keep them both on the lowest pulse settings. I should have gone with two wp10's. Hope that helps. The wp25 kicks up too much sand if aimed in any downward angle.

Depends on what you're keeping. It's not overkill as the wave maker is adjustable. I have it in an SPS dominated 20g and it isn't too much on even a hi setting. My preference is for w1 on medium.

Not at all. If you went to the next size pump it definitely would be. It's adjustable so flow won't be an issue.

No problem, I use it on a planted 90, with Angels and Discus. There are flow control valves on the inlet and outlet of the pump. Initially I closed off the inlet a little bit, but after a few months I increased the flow, between filter cleanings.

The fx6 will be fine and do an amazing job. You can angle the output flow to where it just skims the top of the water. I have a fx6 and a xxl api(Rena) on a 150g and it stays Crystal clear. Depending on amount of fish you still have to to maintenance on filters. Just not as often on the fx6. I clean mine every 2 weeks but 3_4 would be ok to wait. (Heavily stocked African tank)

It all depends on what you have in your tank and how much flow you would like or need I have two of these on either side of my tank and it's a 26g nano softie/lps reef tank. If you have a fish only or a freshwater tank and just looking to had some circulation in the tank than this should be fine although if this is the only pump your adding I would suggest the next higher model up I believe it's around 420 gph? Hope this answers your question

Yes, this will work on a 40 gallon breeder. This is the tank that I used this one and it worked fine.

Considering you have a 40gal tank, i wouldnt recommend this for you. Also, why drain it continuously? This pump is for a 70gal tank.

I purchased a fluval 306 for my 60gal tank & the water flow is strong. Depending on how big your next tank will be 206 is suitable up to 45gal, 306 up to 70gal, & the 406 is up to 100gal.You can always adjust the aquastop valve to regulate your water flow without harming the motor, but not sure it may still be too strong of a water flow for a 30 gallon tank. (my fluval filters values are always fully open)

No. Use a maxi-jet 1200. They're cheap and you can use the included valve to dial back the flow rate.

It may not be, it depends on the bioload of the tank and the size/type of filter. If good circulation and surface movement is being achieved by the filter, extra airstones or wands are usually not necessary. Don't overstock the tank, and make sure your filter is adequate and you will likely not need extra airstones. Research the species you are keeping, some such as danios are adapted to more water current, others such as Angelfish and Bettas prefer still water.

I would say no. I'm not at home looking at my unit, but it's more than 6" tall and the vent slits on the side (for water intake) would likely be higher than your water. I pulled this guy out of the tank one day while plugged in by mistake - if you don't keep the little valve at the top mostly submerged, it stops circulating properly. Being in 6"of water I think you'd have an issue getting enough water through the intake for any of the jets to work. It's not quite the size of a brick, but pretty close.

The tank is only for buffering.I think the flow should be OK to do at least one 40 G tank the day.Good unit ,Water is great

Yes if your bio load is light to moderate meaning number of fish. If you have a heavy bio load use the 306 and regulate the output flow.Good luck

way to much flow if u put any in there put a very small sponge filter in it

Its all a matter of what you're going to keep in the tank but this should suffice for the size tank you have. Try doing a setup with a gang valve and several fine diffusers if your trying to have a higher level of oxygenation in the tank.

That sounds like too much to me. I'm using 2 700/800 koralias in my 55 reef tank and still have some issues with sand turning into a mountain in sections of my tank but I get excellent movement. My tank contains SPS and LPS corals.

The more filtration the better, plus you can adjust the flow rate on the unit. I have the 406 in my 55g and it keeps the water crystal clear...and I mean CRYSTAL clear!!!! You should be fine. This is my first canister filter and I love it. I have to check behind the tank sometimes to make sure its running it that quiet.

I do not have good water pressure so jet stream is not especially strong but with good water pressure the nozzle should perform well!
