    Hello, I have looked around a bit, however, not finding exactly what I'm looking for. So now, that's why we are here...

    I have 2 maxi-jets, I have added one to my tank and I am still rocking the Koralia (for now), I didn't want to add too much flow to my tank at once. Since putting the maxi-j in the tank, I noticed how much I liked the magnet mount on the Korlia. I'm not in any ballpark to buy something that is $$$$$, but I am wondering if this has been done before or if anyone has a good idea?

    I'm all ears! ;D

    Thanks!

    interesting, I have doing some more searching. I did find these, they say they are compatible with the Maxis. Anyone have experience with these?

    Yes they will work. I had them on mine when I used maxi's. but it will mount flat against the glass. If you want it to swivel then you need the mod kit as well. Both are a great combo to have.

    How cow, that's a lot of money for some plastic and magnets. Just as much as new koralias when they're on sale.

    yeah, that's what I was thinking. I have a bunch of rare-earth magnets at home. Maybe I'll just look around the house/garage to see if I can come up with anything.
