I purchased a VCA Random Flow Generator. What is this supposed to fit on, it’s not a true 1/2” not Treaded, and didn’t fit on the Oceanic Lock Line fitting? Did I get Skunked, and they didn’t send me everything?
We should be able to help here.
If you ordered directly from pir website, you can DM me your order and I can look it up.
You could also post a picture of the specific parts you ordered - that would be helpful as well.
And finally, if you can provide the exact brand/model of your tank, that would also be helpful.
Is it an Oceanic Biocube, or a different Oceanic model?
Depending on what you ordered, it may or may not have come with adapters and fittings. We offer the 1/2in Random Flow Generator nozzles as both a standard alone and as a pre-configured Flow kit.
Here's a picture of the Pre-configured 1/2in Flow Kit
With that said, the 1/2in RFG nozzle is designed to fit to 1/2in Loc-Line brand modular hose and other similar sized hoses.
The "1/2in" refers to the inner diameter of that hose, so the actual OD of the modular hose the 1/2in RFG fits to, is closer to 3/4in.
The good news is, I can almost guarantee we can get this figured out - we just need to nail down the details of your tank.
