Octo Lux Outlet

[Dizasta]

Hey guys,

I have an Octo Lux (Reef Octopus) Slim Flow and the return outlet is as shown in the image. I was thinking it would be good to have options to direct the flow rather than just blast the front glass.

Since the back panel is acrylic and I have no way of getting behind it I was wondering if there was some way to add a threaded or snap fitting. Perhaps a 3d printed adapter to cover the grate that could be bonded using acrylic cement.

Wondering if anyone here has ever had a similar thought?

I know vivid aquatics has some neat adapters for their random flow generators but they all screw on to the redsea and waterbox units.

Cheers

Dizasta

I'd definitely think this is possible with a 3d printer! I don't have one personally so couldn't attempt it for you but it may be useful to ask this in the DIY section too

Hey @Dizasta - did you ever figure anything out here? I am having the same issue where the front left of the tank can't hold any sand at all.
