Thank for th questions. The JBJ line and the IM line both use the same adapters. So, for the JBJ Flat panel series, you'll need the 19mm to 1/2in slip-fit-drop adapter along with a 1/2in RFG nozzle for each outlet.
you would need our 16.5mm adapters - they convert the small wye fitting's outlets to genuine Loc-line compatibility.

the easiest way top mitigate air being drawn in is to follow the steps listed below. Making sure they are relatively straight tot eh last segment of Loc-Line usually does the trick.Any suggestions on keeping air from getting sucked into of of the intakes? I want to try something non-permanent, so no silicone initially. They do work nice.

In really high-flow scenarios, you generally just need to push them deeper below the water line
in extreme high-flow setups, you can usual black off just one edecutor and still get the randomization effect. The easier non-permanent way to do this is with a small peice of epoxy putty - the kind you might use to mount a coral .
To use it, you simply push some into the educator, and then pull it out and let it dry. This will form it in the shape of the eductor. Now you have form-fit plug you can insert into the eductor to block it off. The key here is to not push it too deep into the eductor. You just need to to to block it off. Also, this will change the flow requirements a bit, and may require higher flow to still get a good punchy Randomized flow pattern.
| Model | Minimum GPH | Suggested Optimal Flow |
|---|---|---|
| Single 3/4in RFG | 180-200 GPH (680-757 LPH) | 420-500+ GPH (1,590 - 1,890 LPH) |
| Two 3/4in RFGs | 400-500 GPH (1,500-1,890 LPH) | 700-800+ GPH (2,600-3,028 LPH) |
That would be the minimum flow. At that flow rate a 3/4in RFG will randomize, but it would be very gentle and soft - maybe more suited to. Freshwater build.
Since that system has the new dual inlet setup - you're best option, might be to run two 1in CADE flow kits.

Thank you, ill go with the 1in cade. Just placed the order. ThanksSince that system has the new dual inlet setup - you're best option, might be to run two 1in CADE flow kits.
CADE Aquarium Flow Kit – 1in Random Flow Generator® | Vivid Creative Aquatics
You'll need two kits - one for each side. Each flow kits come with two different 25mm pipe adapters. Red Sea Reefer system use the 25mm Pipe adapter
The other option is to run our standard Red Sea Reefer Ultimate Return Line Upgrade kits. Again - you'll need two - once kit for each side. This effectly splits each side for 4, 3/4in RFGs. if you go this rout, i would suggest picking up an extra stick of 3/4in loc-line - you may want to extent one side of each Y.

With that said, I very much prefer the CADE Flow kits in the Red Sea Reeer G2 systems with the dual inlets. It makes for a cleaner look, costs a litte less, and allows you to better utilize the randomized flow the RFGs can provide, in that configureation.
that pretty cool - we once had a PFG nozzle that was fully encrusted with green poccilipora coral.My tank has an incoming flow pipe on each side with three RFG on each one. The flow is alternated from one side to the other. I'm camouflaging my RFG nozzles with some "easily spread" corals.
