Even manual doesn’t say. Logically I guess if you set it 5 that’s half speed, that should be around 269gph, divide that to the 2 outputs should give you about 134gph on each nozzle.

I’d try 6-7 and shoot for about 150gph on each nozzle.

Best way would probat be to retrofit it with 2 dual nozzle lock lines so you could run higher rate but disperse it more evenly around tank covering both front and back evenly.

Thanks, Dave. I continued to search and search but haven't found anything. I have an email in to Innovative Marine and have currently set the pump to 1.4 (the settings are 1.1 to 2.0 oddly enough).

I like your suggestion about splitting the nozzles with dual loc lines. I'm going to start planting tomorrow which should give me a better idea about where dead zones in the tank are.

Just in the event anybody is looking for the same info in the future, here's the table I received from Innovative Marine.

Hope I can jump in and ask a question; I have the newer pump as well on my Nuvo Fusion 10 and find the output pushes my little fish all over the place. Already on lowest setting. Could I use a Y and a spray bar to disperse it better?

 

A 10gal at 7x turnover rate, which is max you would ever need in that small tank is only 70gph, min on that pump is 174gph. :surprise:

So find out what size that fitting is and go to a Y/T with nozzle similar to single one that’s on there now on one end and other end put spraybar blowing down backwall.

Even for a saltwater mini reef I can’t believe they only put a single nozzle on there.

Yikes, thank you! I was not paying attention to the specs, obviously, newbie mistake. They had a previous version of this tank with a less powerful pump which probably would have been fine. So I overpaid for something I now need to fix . It is probably more for a mini reef, but yes, only one nozzle.

Could I use a lily pipe on the outflow?

I would not use a lily pipe in this instance. You'd probably wind up limiting your water dispersion even more than with the stock return. If anything, split it with the Y nozzle like DaveKS suggests and maybe consider giving yourself more options with the loc-line too.

 

I think the black return on the Nuvo is pretty clean! Usually lily pipes are used with external filters.

Loclines are the modular system DaveKS posted a picture of above. I really think that's going to be your best chance at dispersing flow and keeping a clean look.

So I was able to find out from IM that the fitting for the output is 1/2". I cannot fine that loc-line pictured above, which looks like it has a lot of little outlets to disperse the water, which could be great. I did find this: https://www.amazon.com/LOC-LINE-Adj...iums/dp/B06X93CMZ4/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Loc-Line&qid=1568753432&s=gateway&sr=8-3. It appears to have a threaded end though and I don't know how to use that in the output opening for my tank which is not threaded. How do I make this plumbing work!? Help.......

Any others using the IM Nuvo Fusion 10 Pro having issues with the output and any solutions? IM said to use their spin nozzle, but I have used that in the past and it is quite strong, just sends water in more directions in the tank!

I also found these VCA random flow generators nozzle, would those work?
