I love browsin through the DIY section and finding projects like this. One quick question. What type of prop would be good for a mj 400. I would love to tinker with and get around 500 gph ea on a couple mj streams for a 29 gal.

K did some reading on some more previous posts and it looks like the 2 would be way overkill for a 29. Anybody think that 1 modded mj400 w/a mild to moderately sanded down prop work ok? (any suggestions on which prop to use?)

When you find out how to do that let me know As for the MJ400. Your best bet is a Dumas 3002 propeller (1.25" diameter) D. |

Looking to do two of these in my 90 gallon megaflow when I set it up, and want to go bare bottom this time. Would two of the high flow kits for the 1200 off MJ mods along with around 6-700 GPH through the sump/fuge be enough flow. I don’t see why not just want some feed back. These look like a good alternitive to a closed loop.

depending what you keep in that 90g, 2 MJ1200 high flo kits most likely would be too much IMO.

if not that is just ridiculous, somewhere approaching 150x in tank turnover i am confident that these move at least 3500 gph, and likely more than that. when holding it underwater it pushes back way more than a 6100. here is what marvin said about the 1200 w dumas 3004 i placed into his 125g frag tank that has 6100's on each end Quote:

I would go with much less gph from the return, somewhere around 200gph is plenty.

Has any one used a Pentair quite one 800 pump for a prop mod
Patented Uni-Direction impeller eliminates need for noisy mechanical device. This allows the pump to always turn in the correct direction immediately. http://www.pentairaquatics.com/produ...ne/Q1_800.html Thanks Ken

Thanks for the ideas. The tank for a while will be only rock and reef safe fish. After that few softies and some SPS. I may put these on a timer and have them alternating on and off every 6 hours; tidal flows??. Just want it right this time. Moving tank into my new house(new to me ) and last time I had it set up with a wetdry and 5 power heads in it. And a sand bed.

Have any of you guys painted your mjs black with a product like krylon fusion to match the new style shroud? I'm wondering how it would look before I go out and paint these.

Nope, just all running constantly. I'm thinking about putting the 900 on a wavemaker/timer though.

Twon,
Think (02) 3004's in my 90 will be too much flow? I am replacing my Seio1500's.. Just ordered my (02) 1200 MAXI'S... |

JMBoehling, if you're BB, and mostly SPS, I wouldnt worry about it.
They move drastically more water than those 1500s do, though.

I have bored out the center with a 3/16" drill bit, and then cemented the prop to the shaft, FWIW. You are correct, the shaft on the 3002 is a little bit too small.

the smaller octuras are just big enough to go over the .180 CF tube when drilled out . not sure if they would work with the airline or .188 tube.
