I'm a simple man, all I'm looking for is better skimming from this seaclone. Is that too much to ask?......
A good frind of mine (jojoseb) recently purchased a turboflotor and I was really impressed with the quality of bubbles it produces. From further research I found that that it is because his pump has a needle wheel impeller which chops the bubles up. I found this link on RC that shows how you can use a bioball to add a needlewheel to a maxijet1200. The mod only took me 5mins and it did give me better skimmate than I was getting before. The bubbles are much more fine and I think there is more surface area for the water to contact. Here are the directions I used (partway down the page)

People also recommend cutting down the inner cylinder to only 2.5" tall, adding a better quality air flow valve to the venturi line, and using washer or gasket material to make the collection cup fit on airtight.
