    A lot of websites sell the kits they look like this when modded...
    I think marine depot sells em. Just search for maxijet mod or maxijet eco mod.

    I have just one mp40. I would guess either an mp20 or 2 mp10s. Since I got the mp 40 I use the maxi jets just for mixing salt lol a little over kill but it works.

    I will have to do that! Thanks for the help, now one last question kind of off topic but how long should i keep my lights on?? i have a 3 stage timer in my light and the 10k's turn on about 8am, then actinics on at noon, then 10k's are off at 5, and actinics are off at 9 then led's kick on till like 3 am or something like that... is that to much?? b/c when my LED's kick on everything closes up, is that normal?

    That I'm not to sure on what is recommended... I have been playing with mine for a while trying to figure out what works best I know most people have actinics come on and run longer then the day lights. I think mine blues are on 11 hrs and day lights are on for 5 hrs. My blues aren't actinics though they are ati blue plus which have a fairly high par value. Now that I think about it I should probably shorten that...what kind of fixture are you running.

    Hrmmm normally at night is when you should get the crazy polyp extension I lab my moonlights on all night normally but they go out when it stats getting daylight out.

    Not that I can think of really. You have your day lights go out with actinics still on for a while then have mon lights come on before the actinics go out then actinics go out?
