Question on 1/2" rfg for fluval Evo 13.5

[-XENOMORPH-]

Hello. I just got a 1/2" rfg nozzle and upgraded to sicce syncra .5 my question is on the install. The stock water line in chamber 3 goes up to hole with plastic connector as u know. Then in the main Display ..the stock output is that "y" split but it's 1/4". Isnt there a converter I need to attach the new rfg 1/2" nozzle? Thanks in advance !

I have a feeling you need to get a few pieces of 1/2" locline

Just pull the whole Y off and attach it straight to the knuckle that screws through the hole. Attach it outside of the tank though, the one I had on my old Evo was quite hard to get on.

Could you alter the direction much with it on that?

Mine had a fair bit of movement, can’t say I had any issues with it.

Hmmmm. Installed the 1/2 nozzle. But . It's sporadically pushing out bubbles???? Going on 45 min?

Is the joint screwed tight? Possible air ingress?

There was air getting In. So... Ordered 6 pieces of 1/2" loc.line. so instead of attaching rfg directly to return line opening .. in going to add 4 pieces loc line first ... Then the rfg.. to get the rfg deeper .. and level.... Should solve the problem of it sucking air ...in and spitting bubbles out Will c. Amazon delayed so may be a few days .

Question regarding angle of single RFG;
Do you aim it downwards and towards the center? Or do you want it slightly up/level for surface agitation?
Thanks!
