 The Best Power-Head On The Market!Jul 11, 2005
By Martin A Hogan
"Marty From SF"
The Maxi-Jet is the Mercedes of aquarium power-heads. At nearly 300 gallons per hour you know you have plenty of air circulation and water movement. I placed one at each end of the tank to get a circular movement in the top of my aquarium. This gives a nice fast current for the active fish and slightly moves the water at the bottom. They are easy to clean and pack plenty of bubbles into your aquarium for optimum aeration.

Built like a tank!Jul 07, 2008
By LukeIamYoFatha
This powerhead is built like a tank. I've been using it for a while now and it works just as good as the day I bought it.
It is very powerful, doesn't make much noise, and my fish love it! (especially rubberlip plecos)
I'm currently using it to drive my homemade water polisher. Here's how to create one yourself using this powerhead:
1. Take a small container such as a plastic yogurt container (keep the lid!), rubbermaid container, etc.. and cut a hole in the top lid so that the end of the powerhead intake will fit inside snugly.
2.Fill the container with polyester batting (can be found in the fabric section of stores). A huge bag costs $3 or less and will last forever!
3. Close the lid and stick the end of the powerhead intake through.
4. Turn it on and you are good to go! It makes your water crystal clear, and it continues to create lots of turbulence. Serves as a dual purpose now! Just change out the polyester batting after it gets really dirty.

Awesome.. AWESOMEJul 13, 2010
By Z. S. Proctor

I haven't had them long and I make aquarium set ups for customers and friends I used to use Penguin
or Aquaclear and they were good. Maxi-Jet is under estimated because no one talks about how awesome
they are. The prices are 40% less then almost every other powerhead, and push more water per hr at
that price so it a good trade, cant comment on how long they last only been using them now for 3
months but I nor my friends have had problems. Just member to use an extra filter on the intake or
clean the impeller every 2 months at min. and yeah awesome product not scam in quality just note
wait for Amazon to "fullfill" there stock and you get cheap or free shipping to save even more money
I rated its a 4 because I don't know the life of them yet and the power of them is rated a 295gph but
at 1ft head, I use them for returns in my sump with 5ft travel and they still run at 245gph and I still
use Ehiem pumps (expensive but the one I got has ran strong for 5yr without any cleaning because I have a
prefilter in the intake so it never gets clogged) so I say EHIEM OR MAXI-Jet are the best pumps so
if you need a good filtration system run two of these and you wont be sorry.
Also f.y.i an okay filtration system should cycle you water 5-7x the aquarium's size, 10gal 50gph
but best ratio I run and water look n smell good you want to drink if you had to is 15-20x, 10gal
at 200gph, you cant go wrong with an extremely high gph filtration system just be safe it dont
leak bc in a slipt second your water will be in the floor and your turtle will be saying WTH!!
Also word for advice use 100ml of carbon per month per 30gal of water being filter, I use Marine-
Land products best filter media money can buy(at cheap prices too)!! Sorry this was long but someone
might find it helpful, so hopefully someone does!! Happy aquarium hobby to all you aquatic persons!!

 Thought was good stuffMar 30, 2010
By Dennis T
"Dennis"
Moves a whole lot of water and should not be considered for small tanks under 55gal. as splashing may result. A good power head for larger under-gravel filters or foam block bacteriological filtering. Parts are readily available, impeller etc.. One caveat, it appears it is too easy to break off the tabs that secure the impeller assembly rendering the entire device trash.
Update after 9 months of use............
The tabs securing the impeller assembly to the head have begun to spread causing the jet direction to change while in use, very frustrating. One one occasion the unit came apart in the tank. I am already looking to find a more durable replacement after just 9 months of use.
