racechase Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 is a maxi jet 900 too much flow for a 10g? i plugged it in and its really moving some water. i dont want to blow everything out of the tank, and it seems to be doing just that Link to comment
PoopCola Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I would have gotten a 1200 Link to comment

Scott Riemer Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Problem with the Maxi-Jet puts out a more linear flow than some other types of powerheads. But, it's not too much flow. If you want a more dispersed flow, look at a Koralia. Link to comment
Kraylen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 MJ1200 + 10g no good. Dont know abot a 900. Link to comment
PoopCola Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 MJ1200 + 10g no good. Dont know abot a 900. If you use the flow deflector against the glass I think its fine Though Nano korolia is better than a Maxi jet without a doubt Link to comment
Kraylen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Maxi jet is better because you can do many things with it.... a K-nano is just... a "water fan" Link to comment
PoopCola Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Maxi jet is better because you can do many things with it.... a K-nano is just... a "water fan" ? For flow in the tank I would prefer the dispersed flow of the Korolia to the linear flow of the maxijet however the maxijet is an extremely versatile powerhead Link to comment
Kraylen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You can mod the hell out of maxijets also. Link to comment
PoopCola Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You can mod the hell out of maxijets also. true the "sureflow" mod gives the maxi jet a dispersed flow pattern cant really do anything with a korolia as far as I know I guess its just personal preference Link to comment

Rome Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I use a Maxi-jet 900 to mix and aerate my saltwater for water changes in a 6 gallon bucket doesnt seem to be to violent. I would try a the maxi-jet 900 with a Hydor flo rotating deflector in that 10 gallon might create a nice wave effect. Link to comment
