trying to DIY, but need a little help

[poohmarie]

I got a new pump for my tank. Its a mini-jet 404 with adjustable flow. I just dont know where to start. I'm really afraid of breaking something. Is the hose in the nano glued? Just need a little step by step please :maitre What level should I start it out at? Thank you all

Open the top of the nanocube and you'll see the return line on the far right, if you grab the elbow and wiggle it while pulling back it will come out. After the elbow is loose just pull the pump and all straight up and out of the tank.You can then pull the hose off of the pump and slip it on the new pump and put it back by reversing the procrdures. Run the pump on it highest setting and it'll be fine.

Thank you, Thank you, got that done a few days ago. The new pump really doesn't have as much pressure as I thought it would but it seems to be doing fine. Thanks again

Its usually the MiniJet 606 that people use for this changeout. Others have used Rios or MaxiJets but I have also heard of some people complaining of heat issues afterwards, not sure which pumps caused the heat probs though.
