So with the 15 being 15x15x15 I feel like it's been a challenge to randomize and control the flow with just the return and small powerhead. Any suggestions without spending too much on equipment?

I was wondering if it's possible to randomize either the Sicce Nano or the return?

Not sure what size the return is? Looks like loc line but it is labeled aquafire, so I'm not sure if I would just be replacing the whole return nozzle. Do the VCA random heads work? Is there a spray bar option similar to a great?

Pic for attention... still figuring out filters.

I have a dual output 1/4” rfg on my Im 15 along with the might jet return. Plenty of flow without a powerhead.

Can you recommend a rfg for the hello reef kit?
Sure - I can do that.

@Johnd651 - the HelloReef is basically the same as a Waterbox Cube tank - they have th same inelt plumbing. SO you can use any if our flow kits that include the 16.5mm Waterbox adapter.

You can find a list of compatible flow kits here - there are 3 options.

You can find all three of these kits at all the major online retailers and possible your local fish store.

Actually, there are 5 kit options if you want to include the DeskMate flow kits, which also include that 16.5mm adapter AND RFG nozzles in bright Sunset Orange
 
I recommend the VCA Radom Flow Generator. I have the nano double one in my 10 cube. It does a really good job of moving water around in a pretty random pattern. I also have a small Jaebo wave maker that is set on pulse mode. Between the two, I have a lot of random flow in there.
 
Did anyone here have a STL file for a RFG that's compatible with the Hello Reef 15?

No need to wait - just pick up any of these kits.

Every one of them includes the necessary fittings you'll need to attach to the stock outlet of the HelloReef, the Waterbox Cube and the Eshopps Deskmate, and a bunch of other tanks as well.

Plus - these are so easy to install it would take less time than it took me to type this message. :-)
