Ok, I know I'm old and out of it but, the Dead are still touring?

Thank you for the kind words Misled. How much room do the modded MJ's take up in the tank? I'm running 2 K3's right now and was always worried that the modded MJ's would take up even more space.

lol Michael, we must have typed over each other. I have liked the K3's. I tried a nano to get some more flow across the bottom but it seemed to be poorly made and kept freezing up.

I’ve never been completely happy with my flow. But then again, I never seem to be content with anything and have to mess with it till it’s broke.

My motto is, if it’s not broke fix it till it is.

Sorry guys, Ive been out of it a bit... I added a few frags to my tank & modded the canopy, so now, Ill have complete access to my tank, Ill be sure to post some pics for you guys tonight...
Whats the opinion on a modded maxihet 1200 vs a Koralia 4??

P.S.- Im down to 2 fish, my potters & 1 clown... Corals still look great though. Im setting up a QT tank, Im going to try to remove the last two fish & leave the display fishless for 6 weeks. Die ick, die!!!

Bernie, I don't know between a 1200 and a k4, but tonight I'll pull the 900 and show it to you guys what it looks like and how little trouble it is to add the mod. The flow is fantastic!!!!!!!

They also make a mag mount but 34 bucks seems a bit much.

Thanks for the pics Misled. How did your CL turn out? I've been thinking of doing something similar with spray bars attached to my return. I just figured the flow is coming in anyway, why not use it a little more efficently.
