Has anyone upgraded the return plumbing on a IM Nuvo 25 Lagoon?

They Y return line that comes with the tank seems to be a piece of trash.

Is there an alternative that fits well?

I'm running a Jebao DCS 2000, which to some is also a piece of trash lol. I need something that fits the holes that are pre drilled into the tank.

Thanks!

I bought my 25Lagoon AIO used and it does not come with plumbing and the Y.
I had the Mighty Jet desktop and not enough for my set up. Hope these helps:

working well and quiet:
Bought it for $10 only and Prime.
Looks like they bumped up the $.

This looks like a great deal.
Still cheaper than my DC pump, which is super loud.

How loud is this pump? I might buy two for redundancy.

Lastly what type of hose did you go with for the Y?

Thanks so much.

I was getting really annoyed at it lol

I was planning to put two pumps but my LPS didn’t like it.
And if you are planning to get two pumps,
this two pumps fits well.

Thanks so much for the tips!

Wouldn't those 2 pumps be 1000 gph put together?

That's alot of turn over for a 25 gallon lol!
