4D Aquatics Vortech Moveable Nozzles

carmodpg · Aug 25, 2023

I wanted to give a shout-out to 4D Aquatics and their vortech moveable nozzles. I have an in-wall, corner tank (with a fish room behind the tank), and dialing in the flow on my mixed reef (leaning toward SPS dominant) has been challenging as I do not want to put wavemakers on the viewing corner of the tank. I was tipped off to 4D aquatics adjustable vortech nozzle which lets you expand/direct the flow of your vortechs up to 18 degrees (https://www.4daquatics.com/shop). This has been such a game changer for me that I am posting my first product "shout-out" on this forum. I'm hoping to post a short video in the near future showing how useful these nozzles are. ReefBum posted a video about them a couple months ago.

I highly recommend these nozzles for anyone who is looking to have more control over the flow patterns of their MPs.

Here is my poor attempt to take a picture of the tank so people have an idea of what I am working with.

Thank you for the shoutout. Hard to tell what is going on the tank photo so looking forward to the video.

Agreed, hence why I said it was my poor attempt. photos of tank and me are not a great combo to say the least!

I have been late to the game on getting the video up, I will hopefully get that done soon. Wanted to share a little write-up Reef Builders did on the nozzles. I take all the credit for getting the word out there.

4D has lots of cool stuff and probably have a few secret things in the works. As for the amazing tank in that video,@Epic Aquaculture is the proud owner. Occasionally I get to babysit for him when he is out selling some of those fine corals.
