"EcoMod" Maxijet mod kit is Good

[saltycrab]

I've tried the DIY version on two of my 900 and both sucked. I ordered two of these for 15 a piece and I am very satisfied with their performance. They have 0 vibration and make no noise. One made a little noise for about a minute then stopped. They start up and rotate in the right direction very quickly. The output is diffuse and even. I really can think of anything negative about the Ecomod maxijet modification..

I jsut put 2 in a 240 and they rock. I can't believe the flow they put out. One on each end of the 8' tnak and all the corals are swaying. Have been running 2-QOne 4000 in closed loop and just wasn't enough. I am thinking of putting 2 more of the sure flows and take out the closed loop totally.

i was going to get the eco mod but it looks like hte sure flow mod comes with a magnet...is this true?

 

[saltn00b]

neither come with a magnet but a strong magnet is HIGHLY suggested for these mods because when suction cups fail you will get a massive sand storm.
the sureflow does, however come with a cool magnet mount.
you can get very strong magnets at gaussboys.com
i just got the 80lbs pull force disk magnets that are too strong, the 65 lbs ones are likely the best option.

Ive also been reading that the sure flow has a slightly wider flow than the ecomod because of the wider and larger housing.
I bought a sure flow kit several weeks ago and the flow is amazing.
Heres what you get:

And I also bought the magnet made by the same company, and here it is all installed:

Does the Sure Flow have "Anti Reverse-Flow technology"? That is one of the stated features of the Eco Systems ECO Maxi Jet Mod.
Just wondering if the Sure Flow had a similar feature.

 

[saltn00b]

all the "Anti Reverse-Flow technology" is on the Eco is a plastic stopper

 

[peckhead]

but there is a stopper on the sure flow right?

 

[gatorwpb]

The sure flow has never made a noise like it is hitting a stopper and has never started in the wrong direction for me. I dont know what (if anything) there is that is making it start in the right direction, but it does.

http://www.gaussboys.com/ndfeb-magnets/D3706.html how are these magnets? if these arent the right ones, do you know which are good?

 

[saltn00b]

those are the ones i bought, they are uber strong, so most people are now buying the 65 lbs pull force ones that are a little smaller.

 

[peckhead]

nice. they are really cheap at 5$ a piece. i have never been able to find them for less then 25 each..thanks

 

[saltn00b]

yeap, the smaller ones are even cheaper.
i didnt get a chance to put them together last night but i will this weekend and post vids / pics

 

[peckhead]

sweet.
do the magnets come in sets or do u just get one magnet when ordering. in other words, do i need to order 1 or 2 to hang 1 powerhead?

 

[saltn00b]

you need to purchase 2 per each PH / mod.
i got 4.
