[lazyreefer]

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone tried the MJ mod?

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=717034&perpage=25&pagenumber=1

tunze like flow at mj price!!!

Seems like a great mod! I know everyone has at least one MJ somewhere. I want to try this but I was wondering if you guys know of any hobby shops in the area that would sell the needed parts. (shipping is crazy! 7.99 for $10 order at tower hobbies)

anyone want to do this and split the shipping?

LMK

OT- lazyreef coming friday for the trade?

Ive done it, its not that great IMO, nothing compared to a tunze FWIW more like a wannabe SEIO that doesnt always spin the right way

you might get 200-300 gph more out of it but its a PITA to make it spin correctly after any break in the elec.

...w0W hardCore DIY... :dead1:

DRZL: did you added the stopper by the center brace to make it spin the right way?

looks like a really ghetto tunze..... lolz but a good idea...

heard that stopper makes life a whole lot easier

 

[DRZL]

no havent tried the stopper, i wasnt impressed w/ the flow so i just let it go

 

[lazyreefer]

DRZL - where did you get the parts?

 

[DRZL]

tower hobbies, theyre the most complete hobby store on the internet IMO. Theres several variations just make sure uve got the best one and give it a shot, you always learn from DIY!

A maxijet is what it is, modded or not but a Tunze will always be a superior to it no matter how you mod it. If you want to have flow increase just get a eductor/penductor. That way you will not have an open blender in your tank.

Tunze = POWER (flow) hehe new tunze owner here model 6060.... love it..

lolz... i try but i take the advice of a couple better men... (KRIS, AND DEEPWATER)

I thought it would be a good mod for people wanting more flow for thier tanks if they had some extra maxijet laying around. Cheap if anything

Good ol' Melev

Melev has a mod for Maxijets as well (middle of page) it's a much easier DIY to increase flow. He said it works very well and he's been very happy with it.

WOW Did you guys watch those video's? Melev is one sick puppy

 

[fritz]

Yeah there was one of his clowns breeding that my wife calls "fish porn". It is pretty funny I was on the computer and she came by with her usual "Are you on those fish websites again! Oh My G_D! You're watching FISH PORN!!!!"

hahahahaha

 

[noodleman]

[Tonyscoots84]
