According to the specifications published by Red Sea, the \u003cstrong\u003eMAX NANO Cube\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eMAX NANO Peninsula\u003c\/strong\u003e each use one hidden circulation pump rated at \u003cstrong\u003e950 lph (251 gph)\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is the pump on this page — part code R40589.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the pump does inside the MAX NANO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea describes MAX NANO circulation as a REEF-SPEC loop: water is drawn from the surface, passes through the micron bag, the skimmer, the chemical filtration compartment and the bubble trap, and the circulation pump then returns it to the display through an adjustable multi-directional nozzle. Red Sea also states that MAX NANO pumps turn over the aquarium's entire water volume roughly ten times per hour. So a pump losing performance slows the whole \u003cstrong\u003eMAX NANO\u003c\/strong\u003e filtration loop, not just the flow you can see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e⚠ Check your model before ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four MAX NANO tanks do not share a pump. The specification table published by Red Sea reads: \u003cstrong\u003eMAX NANO Cube\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 950 lph (251 gph) · \u003cstrong\u003eMAX NANO Peninsula\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 950 lph (251 gph) · \u003cstrong\u003eMAX NANO XL\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 × 1,550 lph (409 gph) · \u003cstrong\u003eMAX NANO XXL\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 1,550 lph (409 gph). This part is the 950 lph pump, so it matches the Cube and the Peninsula. If you own an XL or an XXL, write to us before ordering and we will confirm it with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Red Sea does not publish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea publishes no wattage for the \u003cstrong\u003eMAX NANO\u003c\/strong\u003e circulation pump, no dimensions, no cable length and no warranty term on the part. If you find one of those numbers elsewhere, it does not come from the manufacturer, and we will not invent one. Write to us with your tank model and year and we will look at it with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pump goes in the Red Sea MAX NANO?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 950 lph (251 gph) Sicce circulation pump for the MAX NANO Cube and the MAX NANO Peninsula, per the specifications published by Red Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the flow rate of the MAX NANO pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e950 lph, or 251 US gallons per hour.
