Innovative Marine Mighty Jet GPH on various settings,?

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.

Use a Y, put a nozzle on one side of it and then put one of these circle flow spraybars on other half can make a nice front back solution. You can make fan shaped spraybars and even point little jets in different directions if you want.

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.
