I need a replacement pump for my 6 year old 29 Gal. Oceanic Biocube. Has anyone used this pump for that?

In the past, I have used the Maxijet NJ900 as a replacement pump for an Oceanic Biocube 14 gallon. So it should work for a 29 gallon Biocube. Great pump.......quiet, reliable, low watts and decent flow. Currently I'm using two NJ900's as return pumps in a JBJ rimless tank.

Had the same problem and could not find a replacement pump! Had to revert to table spoon-sorry. Never tried going to the manufacturer themselves

I don't if its a replacement but it fits my needs and works great. I use them for my dehumidifiers and have no problems.I don't know what you are going to use this for but to pump water from a dehumidifier or AC you shouldn't have any problems.their quiet and efficient. I have one in the basement and one in the laundry room.Hope this helps.

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.

To be completely honest I do not know if there is a replacement pump. Though have you tried taking it and cleaning it with a q tip. If you clean the motor with a q tip once a week it helps. If it is not pouring water out take it apart and clean it. Do that once a week too and it should work for a long time. The tank that holds the filter comes off so you can clean out any hair that may get caught. I hope this helps. It would not hurt to call the company to see if you can get a replacement pump if my sugestions do not help. Wish I could be more help.

Point the pump at the glass, not down and that should help. .. I have 2 on my 29 biocube and have no issues.. A 240 is not enough in a 20 gallon if used alone so I would at least pick up another 240 for the opposite side .. Do you have enough rock or is the flow getting obstructed down ? Mine are placed mid level in tank and again are pointed at side glass

Yes and no. There are actually two types of Biocube 14s a Coralife version and an Oceanic version, I have no idea how to tell which one you have. This bulb fits one style perfectly and then is about 1/2" too long for the other one. However, you can make it fit the one style of Biocube by disconnecting the light receptacle for the light bulb from the light frame, that allows the bulb to fit, it is tight but it fits.

I have only had 1 warranty replacement of the electronics since 2010.You definitely want to check it occasionally and make sure it is running freely or you will burn it up.The 1600gph pump is rated for pools up to 12800 gals,so if that one is close to that I'd recommend upgrading to the 2650gal pump.Also make sure to backwash it at least 1x/mo to get rid of blockage in the sand from use.I usually watch the pressure gauge and when it gets close to the red I backwash it.

not sure if it will fit your Helix, however, I bought this pump, which worked well for about 4 hours. I realize anything can be defective, but the damage to the unit caused by this obviously cracked impeller was just incredible. there was no repairing this thing. I sent it back, and requested a refund, but was sent another pump, .... after I had closed the pond for the winter. so, I really don't know if this one is ok. the entire unit is cheap plastic. if it stays together, there is a lot of water pumped out of it. it actually sounds a little anemic though for a 4-5000 gal pond. mine is around a 1000, and this would have been perfect. beckett has been around a long time, and made good on the problem, but I waited a little longer for it than was appropriate, especially if it was in the middle of the season. I will use this one once I get things going again in a couple weeks, but I will buy a high quality one also, and keep the beckett for backup. the one that I had originally replaced was an aquascape, and it was way old, so they last. but they cost too. I'm going to buy a new aquascape one anyway. it's not worth cheaping out again.

I couldn't say if the pump would work in seawater. It would be worth a try as the pump is sealed up.

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

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

Yup it working for my 30g anemone/lps tank. I don't think the flow is SPS strong, but flow is great. Keep in mind that my tank has almost no rocks with a return pump of 500gph. Perhaps you can keep one of the koralia. Let me know if you have questions.

It should work fine, depending on your bioload or amount and type of "pooduction". I used this on my 55g and it did well. It can be a pain to dial in, but it starts producing skimmate almost immediately. I had a hard time with it when I turned off my return pump for feeding an maintenence. It would take a few moments to dial back in and the increased water volume in the sump due to some backfill from the tank until my syphon break stopped it, could cause the collection cup to overflow. All in all 3/5 stars. Decent skimmer for the money.

I believe you can purchase a replacement pump at any pet shop that sells fish tanks. I would take the pump with you and show it to the salesperson and I believe they can match it.

I don't believe pump is as good as really needed for this size pool. Ours lasted about 3 weeks before we had to replace.
