Maxi-Jet Powerhead


I need more flo in my tank in a bad way. Will a Hydor flo rotating deflector work on a max jet ? or is it better to get 1 more hydor koralia water circulation pump ?

are you need surface agitation specifically or just more flow in general? If its more flow in general I would get a k2 or k3. really 3 k2s probably would rock in your tank but they would rock your wallet as well!

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

I have a 75gal s well. I have one hydor 3 and a return manifold with 600 gpm and it seems to work really well. I would say get 2 hydor 3's and you should be good.

Given the options, get another Koralia. But, more flow isn't going to help with an algae problem. To get the algae under control, you need to LIME - Limit Import, Maximize Export - of phosphates which is the underlying issue with Algae.
