maxi jet mod

[Craig]

hope i'm not beating a dead horse here.

I was checking out the new maxi mod kits at http://reefdom.com/products.asp?cat=106

looks like a professional mod is finally available. how do these compare to the tunze nano streams?

for the guys that went to macna....did you see these kits in action?

You are

how do these compare to the tunze nano streams?

They don't compare. Nanostreams have published flow rates and Tunze's reputation to stand on. You know what you're getting for your money. Reef Central has a dedicated Tunze forum to address any bugs found with the pumps. Maxijet mods are inexpensive when you DIY. Purchasing premade kits which cost several times the original product doesn't feel right. Especially when there's no accurate measurement of the improvement you're getting.

FWIW I saw these in action at MACNA and they were very well made and the flow was great.

Mod kit from Reefdom-$60 plus MJ1200-$20 .... pretty expensive.
I think the mod kit from MJMODS.COM is a little cheaper (I can't access their webpage at this time).

I put my hand in the tank with the ocean flow, I was not impressed with the flow. The previous claim of 1500gph from someone will be to hard for me to believe.

Tunze's nanostream was in a tank with the cool ORA clowns, I didn't bother to ask if I can stick my hand in there.

For a difference of $20 you get a built in magnet mount and REAL warranty with the Nanostream. I don't think these mod kit sellers will be in business too long.

I agree with Cali, ink just wait for your nanostream to get here!

buT maXis are cheapEr

Yes, by around $20.. You get to mod a maxi jet your self and void the warranty on the pump, and you don't get the magnet mounts.

I would not try to save $20 and have this much larger, home made looking thing in my tanks. I also will not buy the first batch of the nano streams, ink can tell you about being a paying beta testers.. plus I don't have a need for a small pump like this, today anyway:lol2:.

Why are we even comparing Tunze to maxijets If you dont want the flow that a stream or a vortech produces then just go for a nanostream. Looks good. great mounting option. great company & service, not to mention warranty and some models are controllable via the multicontrollers. What more could you want????

What does the Warranty cover? EVERYTHING.
NO games, NO gimmicks.
Thats right, a FULL warranty that covers everything included in your Oceanflo Kit. We think we make the best product on the market, and we stand behind it.
If something happens to your kit, all you need to do is tell us. We will send out a replacement part immediately. All claims must be for a registered kit. This can be done by completing our on-line form located HERE. (link coming soon)
* We cover normal wear and tear, this INCLUDES wavemaker use. It does NOT cover damage caused by abuse. The kits are not indestructible. If your dog eats your kit before you get a chance to install it, we do not cover that, if you step on it and shatter it into a million pieces, we don't cover that either, but if your prop fails or breaks while under normal use, we will take care of you.
We have done extensive testing to ensure the quality of our product. Running our kits on a wavemaker does cause wear, but it will not affect the functionality. If your kit breaks, send us an email to [email protected] and we will take care of the issue. Customer satisfaction is our top priority and we'd like to think it's what sets us apart.

I don't see where they included the maxijet?
