I have 4 maxijets running on 2 timers to switch the direction. Been running for 1 month, so far like the outcome of the maxijets. Would be good to connect to a Red Sea Wavemaker for multiple change of directions.

Hmmm...I'm tempted to try.. :angel:

But what timers should be used? Only electronic ones?

the only difference in what type of timer to use is how often the pump switches on and off... electronics ones you can set it to the minute, meaning u can have 1min off, 2 on, etc etc... analog ones only work at 15min intervals...

i thought power heads and pumps tense to spoil faster with by turning on and off often?

Maxijets have been known to withstand intermitent operations... so quite safe... better do with 15min rather than 1min 1min lah of course

Yea...1200...and connected it to an electronic timer. Was going to use a manual timer..but at 15mins on/off meaning that the maxijet would be off for 15 min before it on again..Don't want that to happen in my tank. So used an electronic timer..with about 20+ program settings. So my maxijet will on/off about 20+ times in 24 hours...creating random current throughout my tank. :eyebrow: I randomly set it to run for anywhere between 1 hour to 3 hours before switching it off and on again. Cooldown time between off/on operation is only set to 1 minute. ;) The current that shoots out alternate between about 30-45 degree angles whereby the original output piping is. :D Now got D.I.Y wavemaker..no need tunze already.. :lol:

Always something more important than fish.

If i'm not wrong it actually has a 50% chance of turning in the opposite direction each time it's fired up thus resulting in a change of water flow direction right?

how big ur tank btw? thinking of 1200 but I suspect it's too powerful for me coz I'll be using it to shoot across the width not length of my tank, which is 1.5ft
