As the title said how do you do it??? If anyone has pics or step by step would be great thanks!!!

i would suggest using a mj 900. you get about the same flow and use a lot less electricity.

the maxi jet 1200 is for my skimmer.

What are you trying to accomplish?
What skimmer are you using?

Oh I see its the CPR
More air/fine bubbles. Dont know how your going to get that from a MJ.

I wouldn't stick a mod on a skimmer.

BUT... if you ment you already have a 1200 from your skimmer (that you arent using anymore). Then that makes more sense.

Come on guys, who cares what he wants to do with the powerhead? Tell him how to mod the thing, it is a good experience to have! I am curious myself...

Follow all of the links. You will eventually get to a RC thread that shows step by step.

Ah... that kind of mod. :lol:

If you are going to mod the maxjet for your CPR BACPAC skimmer make sure you still have the venturi connected and working.

Hrm thats neat, I will read through the 400234132 pages throughout my 8hr shift today I have an urchin, and I know it works different than most skimmers due to the injection method.

I dont know if that mesh wheel mod would have any positive effect on an urchin/remora/injection type skimmer, what do you think skimmerwhisperer?
