Impeller 1

Impeller 2

Impeller 3

Double propeller aseembly. Note the flexible airline tubing just slips onto the rigid tubing (section in red) and glued inplace with CA glue. The propellers are drilled out a bit so that the (1/8" OD?) rigid airline tubing will fit through.

Assembling the prop and impeller

Completed prop/impeller mod.
Note: see how the 2 propellers are placed in such a way that they form a screw like curve. This will generate A LOT more flow than using just one propeller.
