Hey Gang!

[Ryan]

I went out tonight and got a Maxi Jet 600 for my tank. Man, can this thing get the flow going. WoW! I put it on the opposite side of my filter to get a cross flow across my live rock. Just thought I would share.

Good deal.Cant have to much flow in the tank.
But if you wont some serious flow,Get one of those mod kits for it.

 

[Ryan]

Oh yeah, I forgot and more live rock! :bounce:


Here's a pic...

Is a Maxi 600 enough for my tank?

 

[Ryan]

OK so what's the "optional foam cartridge"? Looks like another option to have on instead of the screened intake tube adapter? Or does this actually go inside? Any help is greatly appreciated.:Cheers:

 

[RyanG]

You dont need the foam. I is that the only flow you have?

 

[Ryan]

Yes, it's the only one I have. Maybe I should get one for behind the rocks down below?

 

[daugherty]

you want at least 10x flow. i would get at least one moreof one bigger one

Toss that sponge.They tend to get full of crap and cause high nitrates.
And get all the flow in the tank that you can.As long as the sands staying on the bottom,you dont have to much flow.

Move your powerheads around JCE.Its a pain to get the flow just right.It takes a hellva lot of twiking to get it so the sand dont all end up in one corner.
