well we were talking about the flow of the new Tunze today and it go me thinking about the desing to give a large lamaner gentle flow instead of a jet like I get from my maxi jets. So after a bit of thinking and a quick run to the hardware store this is what I came up with as a proto type.
it is over a inch shorter than using the difusers that come with the Maxi-jets and it does a much better job.. what I ended up with was a large colume of gently glowing water instead of a flesh ripping blast. at 1 foot away the flow was felt on every part of my streached hand evenly so it was a very big improvement. now I have it pointing directly at corals and it is enuf to move the polyps alot but not enuf to rip them appart. I am going to play with several different designs and when I have the final one done I will post the instructions. I want to play with hole sizes and such to make sure I am maximizing the flow out of the powerhead and not restricting it.
