#4 i have a 75G How many ph should i use or am i over killing it.

Between the time and cost of gas driving around to find all the parts needed, you'd be better off ordering the parts from http://mjmods.com and put them together yourself.

The best prop to use is the 3004 Dumas (1.75")
it would probably be a bit much for your 75g tank though unless it's a full blown SPS tank. Otherwise stick with the Octura 1435.

I have 2 MJ400 mods running the smallest 3002 Dumas (1.25") and there's plenty of flow for my 55g mixed tank. And they are the only sources of flow in the tank too.

Very nice stuff at www.mjmods.com

I cannot agree with the two statments above. I know the owner of www.mjmods.com. He is a great guy and if you have any problems he will be more than willing to help you out. I also have to stay that the parts from MJmods.com are all superior than what you will make yourself (for the most part) as they are all CNC machined.

I don't know the price seems a little high for the single kit with the carbon fiber rod.

the cf rod and props can be bought from towerhobbies.com

the outer tube can be gotten from most LFS or online stores, its just ridgid airline tubing. same for the flexable airline tubing.

and the pipe stuff can all be gotten from homedepot/lowes.

thats all you need.

add it all up and your probably about right on the price. difference is, you'll have 3' of allthe tubings to make about a bajillion mods, and the piping, same deal; its like 30cents a foot, a single foot is atleast 3 mods worth if you dont screw any up.

props are sold in sets though, so no quantity savings there unfortunatly(unless you do single prop mods)

so IMO, 1 mod, go through them, 2 might be cheaper to do it yourself.

of course, you will need a miter or table saw, and hopefully you finish with as many fingers as you started with.

Um... What don't you agree with? Your response was a bit contradicting and confusing to me
