Innovative Marine Spin Stream Universal Nozzle

The media could not be loaded. I honestly was not going to purchase this product because of the reviews. I went with my gut though and bought it anyway. People were dogging this product almost every review at least reviews I remembered all were negative. So either they are or were lying. Or innovative marine really fixed all the kinks. As you can see... I literally opened the box and had it installed in less than three minutes. Using slow flow... I believe it's a tetra sp140. People said you need extreme flow... I didn't, don't. Switching to an ehiem compact on 600. I'll keep you updated. Silent effective immediately. And the price. More than fair for something that will last forever? Imo.

After reading many of the reviews on this Spin Stream, I decided to grab one for my JBJ Nano Cube (28g). Fits right on the output ports on the back wall without problem. My tank is a reef and calcium is high as result of the demand, so I was concerned with coraline growth on this spinner stopping it's motion. I have had it several months before having to take it apart and soak it in vinegar. Works very well and doesn't inhibit flow at all. Actually going to be buying a 2nd one for the other outlet port. Has really helped with the movement in the tank and made my sps much happier. Yes, it is a little noisy, but you need to be in a total quiet room to focus on it, otherwise the average visitor won't even know.

It was super noisy on the first 2 weeks. As what it was mentioned before. But after the break in period I can hear it about 80% less noisy. You can hear the gear vibrate a little but it is definitely still breaking in after 2 weeks later. The water flow maybe decreased due to the resistance in the gears but I’m using this in my innovative marine 15 gal aio tank paired with a 300 gph pump. It would blow the sand in the corners everywhere so I turned it to about 200gph. It does move water nearly everywhere and so far I can’t find any dead spots. So far it fits the tank and probably has about a 2 inch stick out. But I’d say it’s a good addition. But I’m considering a wave maker down the road but this is a great free mechanical power wave maker option for a nano tank.

The media could not be loaded. I read a lot of the reviews, many of which claimed these were not loud and worked great, and others who said these for sure were too loud. The only good thing I can say about these flow randomizers is that they make me appreciate how silent my tank otherwise runs. The second I stuck this on to my out flow, I was like "dang, I guess I got a noisy one." Knew immediately they were going back. YMMV, but no way I was dealing with the rackety noise. I'd attach a video, but not giving this app access to my phone camera and mic--sorry peeps.

I didn't think Id like this as much as I did. the stream was really random and it would reach all the way across the tank.

This thing is cool and probably great for freshwater tanks. I tried to put it on my outlet to a small nano saltwater tank to more randomize the flow and tame it down a little, but it choked back a ton of flow.Chill freshwater tanks with like guppies or something, I'm sure it's great. And yeah there was some noise, but that'll level off and go away. I'm sure it's just my fault for trying to use it in the wrong application.

replaced my stock return pump that came with my 27g Aqua japan tank. I originally purchased the larger model not the mini thinking i could overkill on the flow. Turns out it was just a few mm too large to fit in the back chamber. So this review is for the smaller mini model. Have it on full blast for a night so far, all the equipment and adapters were included to make the install easy. Excited to have the feeder mode and adjustable flow in a controller. You can already tell the pump is moving water better and can see visible clarity difference for my messy cichlids

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: 2020 (5 year review)5 years and this lil guy keeps chugging away! Got quieter over time, but was never very loud to begin with. Completely covered in coraline and even with macro next to it, keeps on running. Occasionally it will hang up and snag when a turbo or trochus hangs on it, but a tiny tap put it back on track and back spinning away. Had to replace the return pump when it burned out (normal) and the new one is admittedly underpowered, but it still spins and does the job of randomizing the main flow provided by 2 circulation powerheads.The buzz sound in the video is from a crappy replacement air pump and the clicking off and on sound, is a pair of Hydor Koralia’s on a wave controller.Overall, I often forgot I even own this piece of equipment which is high praise. It does the job and I don’t have to mess with it.Original Review 2015:Works great and was able to adapt it into my 14 gal biocube reef and even my 2 gal pico reef. Works very well to randomize flow if installed properly. Did not have to change out stock pumps. Works very well and my corals and anemone love it. Very happy with this find.
