I wouldnt use any RIO as they are known for going out and causing major problems in tanks and I doubt the MJ would be strong enough.

I have had rio's since getting into the hobby and have had bad ones and good ones. I had a 200 short out in the tank... and gave me a small bite and I have had one that just keeps giving it its' all... As with most products you have good ones and some bad ones.

Like I said, do a search here on "rio" and see what you get! They have had many issues and are notorious for being sub-par.
