MaxiJet sureflow 1600gph?

[RONCGIZMO]

I just got a sure flow yesterday..The thing works great! at first I put it on a 1200 Whooo Way to much flow for my tank! (37g 30x12) then the 900..still to much so I bumped it down to the 600 and it's just right...

on a side note

I'm running a wave master pro on 4 PH including this 600 with the sure flow and now I'm buying two more Dr F&S has them on sale for 15 bucks btw.

after seeing the HK nano working I'm not so sure I want the 1 or 2 now. plus from what I understand you CAN NOT run a wave maker on it, you need some kind of control unit like the Seio or Tunze... I like my little WMP and I'm not giving it up!

will the sureflow or any of the other impeller mods work with a wave maker, such as the red sea?

I've been running 4 of the SureFlow high-flow mods on a Reef Fanatic Wave Creator for the last month without any issues.

Humm, I see a split coming on..lol

I am very interested in knowing what is breaking on some people's GSII mods, I don't really see any part that looks fragile at all.
I moved my GSII moded mj to a different spot (not mounted to my overflow box) and all audible humming has gone away, so it was my overflow box that was acting as a sound board.

yea I would like to see some pics of broken parts. I wonder if some people are bias to sureflow????
I've got three GS2's running on a wavemaker now for 2 months with no humming, no vibrations, nothing.

Yea and for $38, I got magnets for all three!!!!

I have two AF mod kits installed in my 75, one on a MJ 900, the other on a 600. All the flow I can deal with at this point. However, if I disconnect and reconnect them, particularly the 600, they fail to start properly making it clear I'd have an issue with some wave makers.
My question, are the ones having success with wave makers using a system that keeps them running at a slower speed rather than turning them off? Soft start?

 

[Mr..Tang]

I have tried to put my mods on a rehostat but when you turn it down a little, it just stops. I don't think ac pumps can be variable speed. Thats the nice thing about tunze and ecotech. But I do use an "natural wavemaker" with my mj 1200 GS2's and the do turn on and off. They mods also have a stop built in to insure they turn in right direction. Maybe your mj600's are too small or too old to work correctely.

GSII high flow is giving me a lot of problems now. I was mixing salt for about 22 hours and all of a sudden the mj1200 started chattering really bad. I have an extra ecomod so it isn't a big deal but the GSII kit will not work at all.

Try trimming the prop some. I had that same issue when I first setup my G2 mod. Trimming the prop down ever so slightly made the chattering go away. I have not had a problem in a week or so. I think the white prop on the G2 might be a tad to big for the MJ1200 to spin it correctly, but who knows. HTH!

 

[Mr..Tang]

well wheres the pics???

I just had my free upgrade from algaefree arrive today. As per fatboyz saying that if we mailed them our reciept for the other version they would send us the upgrade for free. The best part is that they just dont send the new propellar they send the whole kit, bracket and both propellars. Mine came in a little over a week.

 

[kmacartney]

Has anyone tried these with the JBJ wavemaker?

Yeah that is what i'm thinking. The only way i could get it to stop chattering was to put my hand over the intake slots.

My kits are on the way.

They worked fine for me for a couple of months = now one chatters like a big dog. Can't see trimming the prop - it's a medium on a 1200 (new).

The other one is still working fine Maybe it's just a matter of time until it goes. Waiting to see what Triton says, may try an AF kit & see what happens.

Swapped shaft (carbon fiber), maxis, the little washers - you name it = nothing helped. Prop looked in good condition

i haven't kept up with this thread for a while, how is everyone's GS2 performing? Anyone had problems? I have the high flow kit and it seems to be doing great, i don't run it on a wavemaker.

 

[superedge88]

I have two running on a maintenance account and one on my home tank. All are doing well, the one in my tank is running on a seio wavetimer.

 

[jennmac415]

seagirl... I think we got our GS IIs about the same time... mine have been running just fine now since I got them....just a slight hum from the motor but no chattering, clanking or stopping...are you running the high flow or medium flow version and what size tank do you have?

 

[jennmac415]

also ... how does everyone have the maxijet mods, no matter which one you have, positioned in your tank for the best use of the flow?
