Comments: seams to do what i expected it to. could have had a few more inches of the flex tube. i did note that it has to be well under the surface of the water as it will draw air from 2-3 inches away

Comments: I added these to my closed loop system and had an amazing increase in flow from my reeflo barracuda pump. I had to ball valve them down to half way and the flow is still better than before. HIGHLY recommend these to anyone.

Comments: I do not see any increased flow, the accelerator just changes water pattern. Instead of straight flow, you get a wave, or circular flow. It will not eliminate power heads. I have a mag 18 running through a chiller and then to the tank on a 90 gallon DSA tank. I have another 100 gallon show tank,split discharges and two power heads.

Comments: This thing definitely accelerates flow rate. In fact, I have to take it off when doing a water change because water splashes out of my tank. I used the 1" accelerator for a fluval fx-5 that runs a 110g tank. I gave it 4 stars because I would have liked more loc-line so that i could do a 90 degree angle. 1" loc-line is nonexistent.

Comments: I used 4 of these in my 125 gallon reef along with a SCWD and I have incredible water movement. Thanks to these amazing pieces of plastic I don't have to waste money and space on wavemakers.

water flow upgrade

Comments: Installed two 1/2" Vortex Accelerators back wall of my 300 gallon reef, each powered by a Rio 2100. Just a best guess seems to of incresed the outlet flow pressure by 1/3. Quality built product could of been made a little longer for better water control placement. Will be ordering 4 more 3/4" Istas Vortex Water Flow Accelerators each running off a Rio 3100 for the simi closed loop part of my reef build. Hope this helps:)

Experience Level: Beginner


Comments: It doesn't blast one spot. It creates a large area of current that is still pretty strong. The nozzel is very large. I suspect that's why they only included 2 joint sections. Because of this it has limited range of motion (about 90deg.)but stays put and doesn't droop. I made an over the edge adapter for it out of PVC parts that pointed about 45degrees from the back of the tank. That way I could point it about anywhere I want.

"As always my experience with Marine Depot was 'overall satisfaction.' If on the phone, by video or the write-in reviews on the product I am interested in, they are always helpful. When I am in doubt of what product will help me or where to find it, Marine Depot is usually the first and last place I go to."
