Powerhead mod

[bradreef]

Ok so I detroyed a ac70 and a mj1200. The MJ1200 is the way to go for sure. After I built the ac I was skeptical that the mj would be good but it really does put out some good flow. Next to a seio 820 it probably does 1200gph or so with a prop around 1.25" I ordered the cap from mjmods.com and used shedule80 gray pvc 1.5". I will get some more pics but here are a couple. I need to still polish out some of my work but I was tired of using a dremel.

Hey Brad! That came out really nice man even if it isn't polished yet. I think this is only the second time I've seen this mod done. Thanks for sharing and I will look out for the finished look after you are done polishing

I'll be interested to see how you mount yours in a tank. I've done a couple different mounts and I'm still not totally happy.
I do like the flow they create. There is a huge amount of flow from such a small powerhead.
