Күн бұрын

In this video I will introduce the new budget friendly range from Maxspect, the "Jump" range of reefing products.
I'll unbox and explain the features of the following:
- MJ-L165 LED light
- MJ-SK400 Protein skimmer
- MJ-GF4K Gyre pump
- MJ-DC10 Return pump
Keep an eye out for the follow up video on each product where I will put them through their paces. Be sure to include any requests you have for these videos, I really want to test them to see if they meet your needs as that is the purpose of these videos!

Looking forward to your review on all of these products Sam. I was going to use all second hand gear on the new frag tank but you may be able to twist my arm. I'm not sure about the light though, the spare Radion xr30 I have will likely work better over the 2x3 foot frag tank.

@ParkersReef 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah if you have a spare radion, I’d use that as it’s the same as your main tank lighting. Let’s see how the gear goes, for the quality of maxspect the pricing is good!

Definitely looking forward to your thoughts on the gyre and skimmer. My pair of gyre 230s are too small for my 6 foot and I was thinking of going to a pair of 350s. Likewise, I thought I had settled on my skimmer also but the smarts in the controller on this looks quite appealing. My current skimmer has overflow protection but the start delay is very cool.

@ParkersReef 4 жыл бұрын

The skimmer certainly has my interest, i can't believe it is in their Jump range it looks and feels so high quality! The return pump is a beast, but I think it might be too big for most tanks? I do like a slow speed on my return pump though :) Gyre looks to be a winner, cant see where it is any less than their high end unit and the light I am not sure on just yet. Will see how it goes

I like your videos. I'm working on starting my own reef up and was wondering how is the Maxspect Jump Led light? Have seen alot of unboxings but not very many reviews.

@ParkersReef 3 жыл бұрын

The Jump LED was my least favourite product from this range. Whilst it has no shortage of power, the included mount is great and the colour it puts out is quite nice - the software and connectivity is not good. Thankfully you don’t need to connect to it or program it often - so if you can manage past that section, you should be happy. It’s also fairly expensive compared to others, which is unlike the rest of the jump range which is very competitively priced

Question for the light. Is the bracket included suitable for tanks with rim/does it have adjustable grip? Also these do look really good, love the design of them and that pump looks really good.

@ParkersReef 4 жыл бұрын

Great questions! It looks to suit rimless tanks, but could possibly be adjusted to mount to the rim instead, I will check. The pump is a beast, only downside I can see so far is that it moves SO MUCH water!

@taylor4tails 4 жыл бұрын

Couple questions when you do the skimmer video. 1st is how is the noise & features vs the great white 7+ you tested? 2nd is the only Aussie price I've seen is around the $770 mark which is a huge Aussie mark up compared to other prices its rumoured to come out at in Europe (€330 = AUD$540) and the US (US$350 = AUD$500). Do you have an update on rumoured prices & what are your thoughts on the skimmer price when the other items (light/grye) in this range look like they'll be priced really well vs the rest of the market in Australia. :D cheers and look forward to the skimmer video and the new build!

Hiya mate,I’m just wondering if you ever did your full review on the leds? I’m currently in the serious thinking/planning on a reef tank (because of you!🤬😂) and the rest of this equipment is looking pretty good for all I need! Just wondering if two of the lights would be good enough for a 100cm x 60cm deep tank?

Hi mate. Regarding the light, can you advise if it can be used on a tank with an enclosed canopy? There is only 6 inches between the top of the canopy and the lids in my tank. Is this enough room or would the light be considered too to get full use of it? Loving the vids!!!

@ParkersReef 4 жыл бұрын

6 inches is fairly close and you’d want to ensure the canopy has ventilation. But otherwise, it should work. What spread are you wanting when 6 inches from surface? I’ll look at the spread for you :)

Thanks mate. I’m looking at two lights to cover a 5x2x2 that I have on order. Will be freshwater African cichlids but looking at using the 8K pump so figured I keep it all with the same brand. Unless you can suggest another light?? ( looked at AI primes and think there’s not enough space).

@Mike__B 4 жыл бұрын

So that Gyre pump seems to be at an interesting price range, seems like it is a good value compared to the 300 series if you buy one, if you buy 2 however the value does diminish as 2 of them is about the same as 2 of the 300 series as you can plug 2 into one controller and save considerably on the 2nd pump. And the LED seems nice, but 65 watts is all the channels at 100% and most probably aren't going to have red/green very high, and whites probably not as high as blues either so it does seem like it'll be in the same category as something like a Kessil A160 which definitely is a nano light, I really wish there were more (any!!!) reviews on the original Ethereal LED, it looked like an interesting buy but seemed to lose traction to the big players out there.

@ParkersReef 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah agreed. If you want two, go the twin 300 pack for sure. The led I haven’t made my mind up on yet, will see how it performs :)
