Waterbox 10g Plumbing

[Charlie117]

So I would like to get a random flow generator for my nano waterbox 10g. My issue is Im not sure how to measure what fitting I need. Does anyone have any input or knowledge, I cant find the size anywhere on the internet

@Vivid Creative Aquatics any insight here?

 

[Reefguy13]

[Charlie117]

the Waterbox systems are tough, since all their tanks have so many different fittings. But if the WaterBox nano 10, is the same as the WaterBox 10 Cube, then we do in fat dhave a fitting that will fit it

For both the Waterbox 10 an 20 Cube systems, you'll need our 16.5mm modular hose adapter, a few segments of 1/2in Loc-line and a single 1/2in RFG

if you not sure - take a photo of the inlet and post it here - that will help me determine if this s the correct adapter.

The pumps aren’t strong enough to get the full effect, I tried to upgrade the pump but the one I got was too strong. Still provides the random flow and it connects perfectly, just make sure the RFG isn’t too close to the surface, then you get bubbles

 

[Charlie117]

Love it guys, I wish I could upgrade the pump to get the full effect, but still does it’s job wonderfully.

Great thread, will upgrade mine soon, @Charlie117 what pump upgrade did you get for the waterbox cube 10, me bought a Syncra Silent 100, doesn't fit the box of the pump that's why i'm using the free return pump for now, while cycling.

I went with lifeguard aquatics on BRS the smallest one they had and it did the job, but sadly the adapter broke when I went to reposition it. Not going to bother getting a new one. I finally got approved for a mortgage so I’ll be moving soon and upgrading to something bigger (as long as the wife lets me)

Wow good one, good luck bro, right now still using the one that comes with the Cube 10, maybe next month when there is LS will upgrade.

Thanks man, can’t wait, when you get the pump though run it at half the speed, because it’s a pain to adjust once it’s in there

Any idea on what size pump one could upgrade on a 10g waterbox to do the dual rfg attachments?? The stock pump is weak!

To run dual 1/2in RFGs, you would need to supply the return atleast 450 to 500 GPH, to get effective randomized flow.

The pump chamber is pretty small on the 10-gallon cube. I'm going to set on up in a few days and see what i can fit in that chamber.

Is it necessary to get the 6” locline addition or can u just do the adapter and rfg nozzle??

Unfortunately just the adapter an the nozzle places the RFG too high up. It does need to be below the waterline to function properly.

WIth that said, you'll only need 2 to 3 segments of the Loc-Line.to get it below waterline.
