I built one with the plastic needle point mesh wrapped around it. Works ok - I'm running a mj 1200 w/ a octura 1435. I think that it is limiting the potential of my mod - I think it restricts the intake.

I'd like a bit of compairison. I don't remember where I saw the mod, but here's what I did. Take a MJ1200, hack off the exit spout, and drill holes around the bottom. This allows less restriction and more water in the intake. How does this compare? Is it still dramatically less than this mod?

chem Fun - I did that mod . after I whacked off the nozzle there was no direction. If the power blinked the prop would spin other way and blow corals over . some tanks it may work ok , but mine it just didnt work out. The mj 1200 mod with prop worked well with the flow. Great in fact, im just having problems with noise. on and off rattling, but I havnt had time to find the problem.

Now that the propeller mod has been remade so many times in this forum, would anyone, who has succesfully created a Maxi Jet 1200 Mod, mind posting a materials list (with suppliers if possible)?
Thanks. |

Right hand propellers
Hello, I have made some of this pumps mods.
I live in Argentina and here we have 220v 50hz, I do not known why but if you start pump here the 99% of the time it starts spinning on the right. I want to ask If there are props like the dummas 3004 that are right hand. I can see that If use a right hand proppeller I can solve the problem of start clokwise... thanks diego |

You have to put in a stopper for the impeller to hit when it turns backwards in order to correct it.

The idea is that when the prop turn in the wrong direction, the flow of the water makes the proppeller move and hits the stopper?
How many milimeters do you put the stopper from the prop? thanks diego |

Bigger props
Hello I have made with similar maxijet 1200 pumps and using octura 3004 and the flow are great.
I have mode also a 450gph pump and there seem no diference with the 280gph models. One pump uses 13w and the biger pump use 26w. Is there a bigger propeller to use in bigger pumps? Anybody know where to buy? thanks diego |

An additional alternative to an aluminum rod is a 2.4mm ceramic rod, which may be hard to find. However, maybe someone out there knows of a supplier?

Throwing a Dumas 3004 on it will take it up above 2000gph.

MJ mod
I just got mine from MJmods. Works wonderfully, really its way to much flow I put it behind my rocks and i'm going to get another one and slap it on a smaller pump and put two of them in there. I thought about building my own but I have to many things going on to worry about it.

A few posts on dealings with the maker of the gs2 max flow mod.
If anyone would like more details pm me. I don't want to post pm's or emails the threads Erik http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...8#post11246258 http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...readid=1239328 http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...readid=1248394 All he had to do was refund me my money for a kit I never received or send me the kit I paid for. I would not of aired this dirty laundry like this if he just took care of it. I paid 16 dollars for a kit and didn't receive that kit. So somewhere in translation it ended up that I would need to meet with his father for me refund. No thanks, keep the 16 bucks. Heres your press for ya. Beware of banded member lutz or his new name kurkis Erik |
