MaxiJet Modification
Inspried by a thread on Reef Central, I want to try out this DIY MaxiJet modification. It’s very easy considering you have all the tools to work with. The good thing about this mod is that you can actually change it back to original state of MJ powerhead if something is wrong or broken. The bad thing about this mod is that sometimes the prop. turn the wrong way. I just have to unplug and plug it back until I have the right direction. Some people can actually overcome this situation.
Part list:
- 3/32 S.S. rod (from hobby store or metal supermarket)
- 3/32 titanium rod (if you’d ‘be able to find one)
- silicone airline tubing (very small for coupling)
- rigid tube
- 1.5″ PVC/ABS pipe
- 1.5″ PVC/ABS cap
- all plastic boat propeller (from hobby store or Radioshack)
Update: when I put it in my 90G tank this blows too much and I am not really ready for it yet. I am gonna use this mod once I set up another new 120G tank in the future.
