There is a site that sells all the pieces. Not sure how it works out price wise though

Hi All,
I looked at Stacker's web site and if I understand him correctly they do not work with a wavemaker. The one MJ mod that someone was making a few months ago had some other kind of problems. Is there an easy way to just redirect the flow out of the MJ with redoing the impeller,ect,ect? Don't we have some mechanical engineers in our club that could help with a redesign on the flow direction at the nozzle. I am going to play with this a little and see if something easy can be done without buying airplane props and adding impeller extensions. Time to put the thinking cap on...... I will let you guys know if I'm successful or if my wife kicks me out of the house for flooding the carpet with saltwater.

If you're just looking for some random flow, this works

Hydorflow

The MJMod gives constant flow over a larger area and they do work on wavemakers, although people have said that the constant on/off can wear the props and can create bubbles. Also some people say they click when the prop stops.

Look at >>>THIS MOD<<< . It's called the "Hacksaw Mod". It increases flow by AT LEAST double. I did this and did not drill the holes in the intake it works amazingly well. I have it on a timer that turns it on and off every 30 secs and it reverses flow randomly which makes the flow change by 90 degrees. It takes about 10 minutes total and is worth every second.
