can maxi-jets go on a wavemaker?

v8maro · 05/26/2006, 05:14 PM

Or is it only SEIO's that can do that?

seio's can't go on wave makers except for the one made for seio's. maxijets can go on any wavemaker

It's the Seio's that can't go on a wavemaker. The MJ's actually have a soft start feature that is made for wave makers.

I have two Maxi-Jet 600's on a wavemaster pro..they've been working fine.

Yeah, the maxijets are the ones that are recomended for the wavemaker. I have 3 400's but I tried a single seio 600 just for fun and it raddles everytime it started, ANNNNNNNNNOYING............... Damn keyboard sticking again.

what about a maxi with the maxi-mod? would that be ok on the wave maker? Or would I be better off going with an SCWD?

What exactly is the maxi-mod? I like my setup and I use the 4rth plug on the wavemaker as my mane pump so when I press the feed button the main pumps kicks off so the food doesn't go into the sump and power head #2 keeps going for food circulation.

its a modded maxijet-- converted to propeller type stream pump (like the Seio/tunze)-- really boosts the flow (although the amount is difficult to measure).. I've never tried it...

Thread is in the Do It Yourself section..

Sounds like a great idea! I would only think it would work since a "stock" one is recommended I can't see why the modded one wouldn't work...

maxijets are suitable because they have a metal impellor shaft, not ceramic like most other shafts...

I'm running 4 maxi jet 900's on my wavemaster with NO problems .
Well except for the suction cups on the maxi's
