ive had it with powerheads!!!
thats it, i woke up and looked at my tank and once again i had a powerhead that fell and was blowing directly on on of my maze brain. ive lost 4 different corals due to powerheads falling, malfunctioning and ive had it! can anyone recommend what to use once i toss my maxijets. i need lots of flow for my 75 gallon sps tank so im not sure how to do this without going out and buying expensive tunze streams.

Why not mod your MJ into a stream then make yourself a magnet mount and do away with the suction cup bracket?

i tried the maxijet mod, i have one in my tank currently and its ok, its just bulky,loud, and it has stopped working on me a few times when it goes in reverse. i have not seen the diy magnet mount but that sounds like a good idea

I glued my maxijets to magnet cleaner...works like a charm. Some pictures in the little red house.

I use Rio's and the magnets. Solved all of my problems. Good flow and no falling power heads.

I tape the cord to the back of my tank. It doesn't fall anymore.
