Default Biggest Pump that will fit in JBJ 12 Ga. Nano Chamber?

After 4 months, my pump that came with JBJ Nanocube has already died! So not I am looking for a pump a little more powerful that will still fit in the rear chamber of the 12 ga. nano cube. I have new fish coming in 2 days and this nano is setup with water change water from my display tank to QT the fish. I temporarily installed the little pump I use for water changes, but need something that will turn over more water. The tank only ran 1.5 months while I was quarantining a fish before and has been sitting upstairs at my house ever since it was drained. What a cheap pump! Thanks for any pump suggestions.

If you want serious flow you could try a large maxi-jet pump or a smaller mag drive type pump. These easiest way to figure out if it will fit is to measure the space and then look online for the dimensions of the pumps.

Hydor Koralia 1-4 I got two koralia ones w/my millenium 2000 hob = 96turnover per hour (960gph) so...Something to think about.

Koralia 1 = 400gph

Use froogle(or google product search) you can find them real cheap. I found mine for $14/each including shipping.

I went with a Maxijet 600 at first, but noticed it wasn't putting enough flow and that I had a lot of dead spots. So I bought a Maxijet 900, and I still have dead spots. I'm thinking of either buying a Maxijet 1200 or going with a Koralia Nano pump along with the 900. I was told that I could put in underneath the 900 outlet and it would work great.
