More interesting returns than the "Return Jet"?

[DurocShark]

All I'm seeing in the 1" size is the ubiquitous "Return Jet". I'm setting up my 70 gallon's sump and really would like more options. The tank isn't drilled, so it's all over the side. There's gotta be SOMETHING more interesting?

Thanks!

That looks REALLY cool! Little pricey. Not exactly an impulse buy. ;)

I do like that though.

I ran this on my AIO. Very cool lil gadget. Act like a wave maker as it spins via the pressure from the return.

Thanks. Yeah, I have one of those on my pico. They don't make them big enough for my 1" return on my 70 though. :(

Or to make a random flow from your return inexpensively:

Yeah, I use a SCWD, works good for random flow, but you need to get an oversized pump cause you lose about 40% flow with it

Hah, yeah. I'm good. My Sicce pump is dialed all the way down otherwise my overflow flushes. ;)

Interesting. And the girl in the video is cute. ;)

I recently installed Sea Swirls. Should have done it a long time ago!
Here's a little write up I did...

Hahaha. Just a couple things. They work the best installed vertically, ie. Input at bottom & outputs at top sides. Also needs to be cleaned once or twice a year ( I just put some vinegar in & plug holes with my fingers & swish around, then soak for about 30 mins), so make sure you can get to it & be able to remove periodically.
