Anyone use these? Are they worth using?

Can you post a pic? I believe nick ambrosio uses them. Are they the fans that spin at the end of loc line?

this is what i use http://www.aquacave.com/Flow-Accelerators--P1616C1133.aspx they dont really do much if your trying to get more flow but i like the circulating effect they give.

I did a diy version of these. It does increase the flow but in order to increase it as much as it says, you'll
have to have a pump with a pretty high head pressure. It acts like a venturi, the water flows fast through
the center which creates a vacuum on the sides which pulls even more water through the nozzle. Personally,
I'd just get some powerheads or vortechs because the flow will be wider and less destructive with those.
JMHO

Yea my return is way over kill for the system so its not necessary just like the look vs the standard nozzles.

True, that's probably why I would use them too hehe. They do look cool

Brian, I have one extra each in the 3/4" and 1/2" that I did not like. You're welcome to try them if you remember next time you're over here. I didn't think they were worth it, but as a brand new reefer I "had to have it"....
