I'm using the 1200 myself and I love the thing. be warned that the outlet of the pump will fit 1/2" tubing while the inlet fits 3/4" so be prepared to go to home depot to pick up a 1/2"barb x 3/4"npt male fitting, a 3/4"barb x 3/4"npt female fitting and a small segment of vinyl 3/4" tubing with a couple of clamps so that you can use 1/2" tubing...
the pump itself is gorgeous. quiet, cool, pumps like the dickens too.

maxi-jet 1200 is very nice but i would also look at the 900 considering that it puts out so little heat and still has decent flow rate

Yes, the maxi900 and 1200 are nice. BUT don't buy from there. Get it from marinedepot.com. They're 19$ with a flat shipping of 6.

that pic by undertow shows 1/2" tubing. you'll notice the large black fitting he has on the left side of the pump. where it meets the inlet there it fits 3/4" tubing. Undertow obviously found an interesting T connector that has the appropriate fitting on it. never seen one like that
Hi I am a total noob in these threads so if i am doing somthing by adding my question to this thread i am sorry.
Anyway i was wondering what the dimensions on the maxi-jet 1200 are because i am thinking about water cooling and am trying to figure out where to fit the pump

Dimensions? Small
undertow, I see a cold plate on that maze and no peltiers, thats not too good. and that is a very interesting connecter dealy you got there, I used a 3/8npt barb and shaved most of the threads, boared the barb part out a little and jbwelded it in
WhiteHawk said:yes thats what i thought it was....maybe he could share his insight with the rest of us?
It's a Prestone 1/2" heater line "T", which you can pick up at Autozone. The inner passage has been drilled out a little to allow for more flow. The bottom nipple has ben blocked off with silicone and capped with a chrome valve stem cap. The opening for the pmp was carved out (with the cap on) for a snug fit, then it was epoxied on.
Now, as much as I'd love to be creditied with the creativity for this.. the person I bought it from did it.

Good eye. Yes, it's on. Didn't know I should remove it. Wonder if that's why I'm not so impressed with my cooling. The layers are smothered in AS3, so it's transferring. So I should remove it? Although, I will be getting a peltier within the week..
