Maxijet Modification
Wow, who knew I'd ever be posting in the DIY forum
 I just found a cool modification on RC for maxijets on a wavemaker. It allows for oscillating flow by cutting down the output nozzle. I made Jack go first before I modified mine  http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...t+modification Works like a charm! Christy

Sheesh Steve, I just hacked apart my MJs without doing any testing. What do you think I am, some sort of scientist?
 I have a good one still, I'll throw it in the tank and check it out. Back in 10 mins Christy

Steve,
No the flow of the water is still there, only slightly less than the unmodified powerhead, however the stream is more dispersed instead of being tightly directed to just one area. I tested it most scientifically, with my hand. Want me to time valonia shooting across the tank? Christy

cool, 1/2 the flow roughly.. exactly what I wanted to know. I might have to try this in the LPS tank.. i could get 4 MJ1200's going in a 25 gal tank

Yeah this is pretty cool.
 Definitely more flow circulating around the tank now. I really like it so far and I only did this to 2 maxijets. I left my 802's alone. This is like having new toys for free! Christy
