Wanted cheap powerheads

[Doc]

Well, I figure I would give it a try. Since I moved up to a new tank, I figured I needed to add two more powerheads and an additional smaller one for my sump. I looked at them at the store and before blowing $100 bucks, I wanted to check to see if anyone on the forum had some laying around they didn't want. Heck, I still have the same Rio powerheads I first bought, so they don't have to be fancy, just push water. Let me know if you have any you are not using

Nope sorry... But even new Maxijets are under $20 apiece.

 

[Doc]

not here. Prices have gone up pretty quick.

[Bifferwine]

Hmm that sucks. I can still get them for around $18 here.

 

[Doc]

Well, If you are feeling frosty, go ahead and mail me two or three!

Why not order some online?

Think I might even have another Maxi-jet 1200 thats just collecting dust.

You can get the MJ 1200 from here http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp43625/cl0/powerheads for 17.95 each. I bought 3 from them when I started and have no problems.

And if you want some seriuos flow add a MJ mod kit, or better yet DIY them. You can do it!

What the hell!! Just my luck!! I just went into my room and looked at my tank and relized the maxijet 1200 in there was not working. I checked the plugin and it was pluged in. I can't believe right after I said I havn't had any problems the damn pump went out.

I think it was my fault though. I took the top off and seen the epoxy was bubbled so the pump overheated. I think when I was side mounting the pump I covered the top holes in with silicone and inturn it did not allow water to enter to cool the pump off.


But still how in the hell did it go out after I wrote that.

You jinxed it Bobby.

Just got the new foster and smith cataloge and the maxijet 1200 are on sale for 17.19 each and the sureflow upgrade kit with mag holder is only 14.99. So for only 32.18 you would have some serious flow.

 

[PufferGuy]

how many of those powerheads linked above would be needed for a 30 gal? would 2 do it?

 

[Bifferwine]

Two should be fine.

Happens every time!! Ya start braggin' about how some car or piece of equipment on the tank has treated you so well for so long............... next day the darn thing is friggin' DEAD :frustrat: Story of my life, so I quit bragging about how reliable stuff is. I drive my Nissan and I run my MJ pumps and I shut the hell up about it. :mrgreen:
