Eheim Aquaball vs. Maxi-Jet

bookpile · 05/20/2006, 06:51 AM

Hi,

I ordered a powersweep 228 from big al's but I think after reading all the reviews here I will be returning it. There's a lot of good things being said about the maxi-jets but I couldn't find anything about the eheim aquaball. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Travis

i have 3 maxi jets, they work great, the only draw back is the suction cups are awful, they last a few months, aalot of people have been glueing them to mag floats, i never had a aquaball but have read the neg reviews too, seios are also good too

i havn't tried the eheim aquaball, but do really like the MJ's. use them in combination with a Hydor Flo to get really good water movement. i also use the seio, and am very happy with performance but they can't be used with a wavemaker.
