For my Current Cardiff Reef Tank, I had been rotating between the two stock Jebao WP-1500 Pumps (396 gph) which both developed a “nice” rattling noise which was unacceptable as they were keeping me awake at night. With a couple parts from the local hardware store, I was able to replace with a cheap and quiet Maxi Jet 900 (230 gph).

Parts List:

1. 1 x Insert Elbow Fitting 1/2 insert x 1/2 insert
2. 1/2 inch Clear Flexible Vinyl Tubing (6 inches)
3. 1 x Plastic Hose Clamp 3/4 inch
4. 1 x Watts Quick Connect 1/2 Inch O.D. Tube X 3/8 Inch Male Pipe Adaptor (PL-3035)
5. 1 x Maxi Jet 900

Notes & Observations

12/24/2009: I have been told the Eheim 1250 will be a tight fit but would be another alternative. They wrapped it in tygon tubing to help ensure there is not hard services touching side of tank to quiet down any type of noise.
