moneyman6891 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 They jam a lot I heard, and they reduce your flow by 30%. Link to comment
airangel Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I use one, love it. I've got it on the return nozzle of my 24gAp. Link to comment
sly fox Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 thanks guys, airangel, does it jam much? Link to comment
hoganrj Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I also use one on my return on my AP24 and love it. It helps vary up the currents without getting a wave maker. The only time mine jams is when one of my snails tries to clean it and gets wedged between the Flo and the light covers. Other than that it has never jammed on me. Link to comment
davidr2340 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I just recently added mine back on... Mine jams fairly often, always 'cause of critters! Link to comment
reefatschool Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have one also on my return pump and I like it for the water movement. Mine rarely jams other then when i trim my cheato. Link to comment
JustReef Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've had mine about 6 months. It only jams when a snail lodges itself in the back. That's only happened 2 or 3 times and takes 5 seconds to fix. Link to comment
StevieT Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I like mine, but it does jam every now and then, possibly from the CUC or the coralline algae that is overtaking it. For the $12 cost it is worth it IME, to get it started again i just nudge it with a pole or finger, gets it going again, no big deal to me Link to comment
badbread Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Like mine, same thing, jammed once or twice thanks to snails going for a spin Link to comment
Phixion Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 As long as you keep it clean (like clean it once a week or two) and don't try to force too much flow through it then it should work well for you. Link to comment
aparnold Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Mine has jammed twice. One time a snail was the culprit, the second a crab. Still love it though, adds a really nice wave effect. Link to comment
ddelallata Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I've had one for about 2 weeks without any problems (fingers crossed). Its well worth the 12 dlls. Link to comment
