Here's a cool article with some DATA on the new Maxi-Jet mods we've been seeing more and more of...

very cool, nice find i have been wanting to see some testing. i wonder how it compares to MJ modkits. i have both the sea flo and the MJ's. i like the looks of the sea flo's much more. great find.

kinda turns it into a korillaish type thingy

BigAl07 · 12-18-2007, 03:50 PM

I would imagine they are very similar since their architecture (would that be correct terminology / engineering is the same.

I may get a couple of those and try them out. That's a significant improvement in output as well as watt reduction. That's what we call having a Win - Win situation

i love mine. i also have some koralia #4's and i think the ocean flo mod i have on my MJ 900 is more than the koralia #4. but the flow on the koralia is a little different. the ocean flo mod feel more tunzes flow, have them too

the koralia's flow is pretty similar though.

BigAl07 · 12-18-2007, 04:00 PM

You know I don't know why I didn't think of this.. I have a pair of MJ900's laying around un-used. I could get the MODKIT for them and run them in my 90 instead of buying the Koralia 4'sright away. That's an idea

prow · 12-18-2007, 04:10 PM

i think so

the ocean flo mod doesnt change the the PH. you can take it on and off when ever. so if you need you can use the normal PH or the Mod, switch back and forth. the koralias your stuck with what you get.

BigAl07 · 12-18-2007, 08:43 PM

Good idea bro! I like the dual function there. One power head that can do TWO different roles. I need to seriously look into getting some of those kits.

Thanks for the link to the article. I tried the Sure Flow 1600 upgrade kit and found similar good flow results. This kit comes with a swivel mount so you can point the PH anywhere you like. I have a MJ600 or MJ900 (could not tell the writing is worn off) and I could not get the flow direction adjusted to where my corals liked it. I liked the look of the added flow but my corals all did not and remained partially closed. I have removed it for now but plan to try it again when I get some free time.

BigAl07 · 12-18-2007, 10:48 PM

Good job Jake. sometimes it's tough to get the right flow in the right place. Keep us posted

i am always messing around with my flow. you can try to bounce the flow off the glass or a rock to deflect the flow.
