Suction cups suction failure

look up BRS under maxi jets. There is something called sure grip magnet. You attach it in place of the suction cups to the maxi jet and the other side to outside of your tank. It works great also to place inside storage mixing containers as well, especially the round garbage cans. the magnet is pricey, but I use it all the time in various situations.

they are also running 10x award points until Thursday.

 

+1... I haven't had a problem since I switched to sure grip magnets.

 

Foster and Smith have them right now for $19.99 and shipping is free for orders over $49. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produ...atid=16752
I got a deal on used ones from another GIRS member.  On the other hand, there is something to be said for power heads that come with the magnet mounts.  I would like to try a Korila someday.

 

hydor Koralia pumps are well worth $ surf the web there on sale all the time you just have to check alot of the online web sites to find them cheap

 

As bad as this sounds, as soon as I read the title to this thread I knew it was from a maxi jet haha. If you want cheap powerheads, koralias are the way to go without a doubt. Never cared for the maxi jet upgrades, they just look so half-***'d. If you really wanna start talking tho, get yourself some vortechs haha.

 

For sure. You know, when I first got into this, just a few years ago. I made fun of the guys who spent the money they did on Vortech's and Apex's. Now I understand why, as I have them now. Funny how that works out right? Haha.

 

Do you have an extra magnetic algae cleaner around? Super glue the MJ to the scraper and you've got a no fail MJ holder. Works like a charm.
