    If it is too much direct flow, try putting a rock or object in front of the MJ to deflect and disperse the flow a little..

    lol, well i have just the one modded mj, but i might take it out and add it to the 180(which currently has a mj1200 with mod, two tunzes 6045, and 3000+gph from the return) bud im not sure yet, bc im taking the two k2s and putting them in the 29 and i still have some mj1200s and a k4 i could throw in the frag tank
