Default Typhoon !

Well I got those eductors and holy toledo ... I hooked them up to the 2 Mag18's and I cannot believe the storm in my tank ... now remember that these are not supposed to work with non-pressure rated pumps but try telling that to my fish that are trying to swim against the current or the corals that are getting knocked off the rocks ... they are back in place now on more secure footing

All I can say is WOW !

Cheers

Glad to hear you're happy with those. I probably would have got one had the rep not told me that it wouldn't work with a MAG pump!!

He told me the same thing ??? ... I am on the prowl for Mak pumps or equivalent to replace the Mag 18's but thought since I had the eductors why not try it out and see

Cheers

They are about 3" with a MPT ( you can order either MPT or FPT )

Well that is purely subjective at this point as I have no way to determine in precise volumes but the old " hand in front of the output " test tells me ALOT !

Well I will have to make the trip soon.
The bird can come but you have to have paper towels on hand and not mind poop on your shirts.....or carpet

I'm one of the guys that don't get it. The way I see it;

-your pump supplies a total amount of energy to the system
-you can manipuate velocity, pressure and volume of flow but the sum of the three still equal the same total. One goes up - other goes down.

Is there a power source involved with this unit?
Must be missing something in the explanation
I really don't like the term "think of it as magic." Only Harry Potter can do that stuff and I didn't see his name on the web page.

I too would be very interested in seeing the devise if RastaVille allows NE scum past the gates
