anyone else use these

[teresaq]

I love them they really give a nice flow around my tank. I really think these have helped keep my ph stable because they are breacking the surface of my water everyfew seconds.

do u have them on all your powerheads or only one of them?

 

[chadman]

and how do they work...would they hook up to my maxi jets?

 

[hsanchez]

So i could put these on my power heads? *Email Removed*

 

[my way]

I've always wondered about these, do they direct the water in a circular pattern or side to side. It looks lika circular pattern to me.

Tell us more does it really work.Maybe some more people will talk about there experience with it what size and brand powerhead they use and size of tank.

 

[ohioguy06]

I use them on all my returns along with my power heads and lemme tell ya corals are opening bigger i no longer have as many dead spots and fish love em!

 

[ohioguy06]

They actually make the water go in big circular motion that makes it go all ove the place.........the current is spread out all over so to say.

 

[chadman]

awsome they are not expensive either...and require no cords....i am going to have to get some!

 

[ohioguy06]

And i do beilieve they can be hooked up to all power heads..........

 

[chadman]

i always welcome some thing beneficial that requires no more cords!!!

 

[chadman]

do u take the current deflector which is on the powerhead off? or does it hook onto the end?

it should just pop off and then u slide a rubber/plastic fittin on to the return on the power head and wahhhhlaaaa u have wave maker!

 

[chadman]

Amazing!

 

[xrayman]

I read some where that it decreases flow in tank is that true?

 

[teresaq]

sorry my computer was acting up. yes they go in a circular motion. I have two in my 55 gal. I would not put them too close to the bottom. they moght stir up your sand. but the top of tank and midway they work great.

In my findings with it does decrease a little but not a noticeable amount.........it has actually taken where i had dead spots and i no longer have any.

 

[chadman]

should i maybe get a 1200maxi rather than a 900 if i am going to be using this device?

 

[teresaq]

They sell them on several sites for between 12.99 and 9.99
Chad, yes that would be good. e-mail me i just say the maxi jets for like 18.00

 

[devilboy]

yes i have them on my tank also...
nice pic it is wrong tho, it is attached to a maxi jet not a aquaclear
