Has anyone every used a random flow generator nozzle? I have a IM 25 lagoon and dislike the duckbill nozzles, I have found the spin stream and VCA nozzles. Is one better than the other?
 
The Spin Streams click which is super annoying. I use the VCA and like them just fine. There some STLs out there that are close enough if you have a 3d printer.
Yea had seen some people say how it clicked and then others say how it wasn’t, so I guess some do. Think I like the VCA better

I have dual spin streams. It does click but it’s barely even audible. I also have the VCA on my other tank. IMO the spin streams are better. My tank has zero dead spots and my corals are thriving.
 
I tried a couple RFG on an IM 20 and was not impressed. I ran open tubes and used powerheads for in tank flow. Ive never really depended on the return for in tank flow. The stock nozzles created to much shadowing sticking out in the 20. Probably not an issue on a larger tank.
