R-3 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I just hooked up the Sureflow Kits I just bought and man do they rip! I cant believe the flow that comes out of these things. Its also probably the easiest thing I have ever done in my life. Just open the box slap it in there and twist the shroud on. Totally idiot proof. The coolest thing about this kit is that both of the Maxis I used had broken impeller. So they were just lame ducks anyway I put one on a 1200 and one on a 900. Has anyone put a killa-watt meter on one of these yet with the mod?? Even though it seems like either one eats my modded Tunze 6025 for breakfast. I need to buy some magnets to hold these things on though, the suction cups aren't that great. But other than that the mount they give you is sweet to use with Algae Frees magnets. In conclusion if there is anyone needing some flow in there tank and dont have Tunze like $$$$$ laying aroung I would pickup a few of these kits.

fishmanmike01 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I have these and have been using them for about 6 months now and i agree theese things are great,the only problem i had was that i would get a bit of noise when i used the large inpeller on my 1200.To remedy this i down graded both my pumps to the 900's....then silent!

R-3 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 My kits were the older ones so I only have one impeller. They seem quiet to me which is good. Yep Im defintely satisfied. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Penn State game will be a tough one. I think it will be a different result though. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Ha ha Sammy! Yeah the Penn State game will be a tough one. I think it will be a different result though. Later Ryan You gotta get there first! I love my sureflows. Work great. I glued mine to a magnet mount i made. I also had some problems with noise on a couple MJs. I just tried different ones until i found a quiet one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamatSLS Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Oh whatever, I did not. I'm predicting a 7 point Duck victory followed by countless tears streaming down your face. I meant, wouldn't you rather see USC in there? I mean come on, the Pac-10 needs a chance at victory, Penn State is tough... AS YOU KNOW.

Yes I do agree Sammy I think USC would punch them in the face, but being a Beaver fan I want them in the Rose Bowl. I remember a 9-3 Uck team getting embarrassed in the Rose Bowl by Penn State about 13 years ago Go Ki-Jana Carter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyles Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Ryan whats the impeller made of these days? I had to replace the impeller on all 5 of mine over the last year or so, other than that, I love the bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 If losing by 18 is an embarrasment, what would you call losing by 31? 45-14 Jo Pa loves ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 A little different than playing there Miles, come on Nittany Lions I think have only lost 1 game at home in 4 years? That was to a 11-2 Michigan team. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-3 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Its a black plastic Nyles. Mine are the older ones. I bought them from Steve he had them for ahwhile but never used them. What are they made of now? Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm sorry, let me be more clear. The old ones (that I have) the stainless internal shaft would decay. The outer shaft was not an issue. I would replace them or at least have the carbon fiber on hand for when they do fail. When you take the rubber ends off while cleaning they will usually crumble after a year of use. It seams it comes from a heat issue from the discoloration and they almost always fail if the pump stops. Just FYI, not a single carbon DIY has failed.

R-3 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yeah thats what Miles said about the shafts. Where do I get the carbon fiber from?? A hobby shop? Also what thickness would you recommend. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I don't remember the thickness, just bring one of the rubber ends with you and make sure it fits snug, I would guess CORRECTION 3/32" but I am not sure. Any toy and hobby place should have them in the DIY airplane section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
