Just make sure not too close to the surface or it will make a swirl and suck air.

I made a mod of the mod to counter that but not sure it limits some of the flow.

Two maxijets with the mods are not too much flow for an sps 70g tank. Like Wingo said, don't put them too close to the surface or you'll create a vortex and suck air.

omg, these thing are insane, no noise on either, but i had to shut one off, i have one in the right corner, about 5 inches undr the water pointed to the left front corner of the tank

my frogspawn gets a good amount of flow and so do some of my peach zoos and a small acan, blasto... they seem ok, i hope i am no hurting them in any way... i alomst want to switch to mj 400 or 500 and keep the mods...

Any coral with fleshy polyps, brains, euphyllia's, acans, etc. cannot bear extremely harsh DIRECT flow. If it's indirect and alternating, you should be okay.
