WHen the water gets upstairs from my pump, counting a ball valve check, it's about 1000gph out of a 1" hose heading into a 54g tank.
The 1" is subdivided by a T connector into two 1/2 inch hoses, each with a 1/2 inch Sea Swirl mounted face on to each other across the corner.
This STILL was enough to make my sand get up and walk.
So I consulted my lfs, who handed me 2 T connectors [modular hose] which I shoved on as Sea Swirl nozzles. [That was an interesting operation involving nothing to hold onto, a pair of pliers, and a hammer.]
Each nozzle now terminates in a T, and the hammer-headed [no reference to how it was put on] water exits now being further subdivided, are perfect. No more walking sand. No more problems. The lps is ecstatic. Food, rather than leaving fast for the sump, circulates for quite a while.
