I wouldnt even think about them,unless they have UL listing.

 

[reeffreak]

AU $6.99 is Australian dollars.
It sure looks like a chinese knock off.

 

[fishbait]

yeah, they are from hong kong. I'm sure they are bound to melt something.

 

[Piggy]

Plus the voltage is 220.

 

[fishbait]

oh snap! I didn't notice that. I wonder how many poor folks here in the u.s. has ordered those, riped the box open in excitement, went to plug it in the wall.....

It's been around in Asia for quite some time now.

I got a maxijet mod and man it pushes way more water. My number 3 koralias don't compare for the money.

I Just Seen The Maxi-jet Mod...... Turns The 400 Into 1300 Gph For Only 19.95 On Marinedepot.com I Have Been Looking Around My Lfs But Looks Like I Will Have To Order Online.

 

[Oscarsdad608]

I had to put the smaller impeller on my 1200 because it was blasting way to much water.

Somebody needs an English lesson

- It adopts permanent-magnet synchronous motor for driving.

- High efficiency, energy-saving and long service lifetime.

- Its appearance is novel and beautiful, and various installation types are available for users to use easily.

- The motor is sealed with resin. High waterproof and insulation performance ensure safe and reliable use.

- The structure of impellor adopts patent technology; the effect of forming surfs is good, and it can form large numbers of confused stream . And it can solve the defect of single stream-forming method and fast speed of stream created by common pumps. It can create a natural ecological environment for your halobios.

(what are halobois?) :shock:

- The angle of outlet-water can be adjusted in any directions. And it is suitable for forming stream in any directions. In the meantime you can view the confused stream like the natural ocean.

Huh? :shock:

so, the maxi-jets do rock when modded? I made a post about them a few days ago and didn't get any response. how well do you think a maxi-jet 600 will do? I allready have them is why I was wondering. or should I go ahead and buy a 1200.

hope that helps you out fishbait

I knew where to get them, I was just wondering if they were all they were cracked up to be.

 

[Oscarsdad608]

On the 1200 I had a hard time getting the larger impeller to spin forward. When iy did it was moving a ton of water. I think everyone has a maxi laying around.

 

[yote]

The MJ mods will do what they say.They move a lot of water.
The only down side is that you have to buy a different hanger the clips over the rim of the tank.
