Innovative Marine Love???

[newbreefer316]

Have anything like the drop down Red Sea Nozzles that will work with Innovative Marine tanks? I'm not a big fan of the spin streams and am looking for something to replace them with on my next build.

Thanks, that will work once it gets back in stock. I was on their page looking for a 1 piece unit like the Red Sea but I'm guessing that this would end up being pretty similar.

@Bulk Reef Supply should be fully restocked. But they go quick so move fast ;-)

What is it you don’t like about the spin streams, so far they’ve worked great for me.

We think the spin stream is a good product and well made, but the main complaint we have seen from users of the the Spin Steam is that it can sometime get stuck. To be fair, this does not happen to everyone who who uses that product, but because it does have moving parts, it is a potential issue.

The Random Flow Generator Nozzle on the other hand has no moving parts and can create a similar flow pattern as the spin stream. Plus, as an added benefit, the RFGs flow pattern is more randomized so detritus has less of a chance to settle on the sand and in the rocks.

Here's a Flow Upgrade video we did on a IM Nuvo Fusion 20

For the Nuvo Fusion series and earlier models, you'll need the adapter, or you'll need to add some loc-line between the inlet and the nozzle. The reason being is the RFG nozzle needs to be fully submerged to function properly.

For the new Nuvo EXT and i believe INT, those models will come standard with genuine loc-line fittings , which means you wont need an adapter for those tanks.
