> 3 power heads, Zero Heat! by ROY REESE

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 6/14/2008 from WOODSTOCK, GA UNITED STATES

Comments: This adductor really works on my 58 gal (36x18x20) reef tank. I was originally using 3/4 loc-line wye out to 4 nozzles in an attempt to create circulation with the return pump. Not even close to what is needed. Then 2 power heads (Aqua-Clear 70 and 30) and Hydor-Flo rotating deflectors were added in each corner. Much better, but still not quite... Then the FA-400 was added - it creates more flow than both those power heads and a HydorKoralia2 combined. It took a while to figure out where to aim it so as not to blast the substrate sand off the bottom! My only complaint is the limited swivel of the 3 links - 5 would allow full +/- 90 degree swing. As it is, only 45 deg either side of straight are possible. I'll try a 90 deg EL later, but seems that I've got plenty (perhaps too much?) current flowing now. My 20 gal (24x12x17) sump/refugium is plumbed with 1" overflow gravity drain and 3/4" return lines and uses an Eheim 1260 pump. BTW, Eheim pumps are fantastic stuff - I've run my 75 gal for >20 years on one, FW planted - SW FOWLR - FW planted! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Impressive Flow by JTheed

Experience Level: Beginner

Posted on 4/6/2008 from Missouri

Comments: This thing generates a lot more flow than I expected it to, and doesn't generate much more back-pressure than a 3/4" loc-tite. It's not even all that big, and with a black background it's not too notable. The amount of water this thing gets moving is amazing, and it generates a nice wide current. Definetly worth $15. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Seems to work by Nate

Comments: They seem to work ok. I couldn't tell that it made too much of a difference, but there isn't anything in my tank except water so it's hard to tell. (just set it up). I took it off and replaced with original output tubes, because it made a suction noise due to it being to close to the top of the water. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

room for improvement by MIke

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/11/2008 from WAYNE, MI UNITED STATES

Comments: Yes it does created more flow but it slowed down my return rate on my pump. also the ball and socket are not compatible with all-glass mega flow snap loc ball and socket lines. they are a very sloppy fit, also the flow accelerator lines are not long enough they are very short.So if you have built in overflow boxes you have to hard plumb a extention in order to wrap them around to get them were you want them, or just be creative. The ball and socket need to be about six inches long, not two inches long!!! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: increased my return speed X10! I never expected to get this much of an increase with the product. I had to be careful where I pointed in my 75g so it wouldn't blow sand all over the place. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

PROS & CONS by RICK

Posted on 2/24/2008 from MIAMI, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: YES I TOTALLY AGREE IT INCREASES FLOW TREMENDOULSLY. BUT I DID NOTICE IT PUTS ALOT MORE STRAIN ON YOUR PUMP. CREATES ALOT OF BACKPRESURE AS IT HAS VERY SMALL OPENINGS. THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY IT DOES THE SAME FUNCTION A HOSE DOES WHEN YOU BEND IT AT THE TIP ALOT FURTHER REACH BUT MORE PRESURE ON THE HOSE. SO IF YOU DONT MIND SHORTNING THE LIFE OF YOUR PUMP THEN YEAH GO FOR IT. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Almost perfect by jpndave

Posted on 2/2/2008 from HYDE PARK, UT

Comments: I am giving this 4 stars because it isn't totally compatible with Loc-Line fittings. It does work well and will increase flow significantly. I ended up using only the accelerator and all the other fittings loc-line. It is a VERY tight fit on the loc-line but it works. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: The flow accelerators are 10 times better then I thought they would be. Get twice the flow with half the pump. A must for any saltwater tank! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
