I don't know if this shows anything.

An easy way to show the flow is to use a turkey baster and forcefully squirt some tank water into the tank, to create bubbles. The flow will then push the tiny bubbles around the tank reveling the flow pattern for a few seconds.

Even better is to do the same thing near the intake of your return pump - that works really well too.

this tank would really benefit form some Random Flow Generators. It's hard to tell for sure, but it look like it probably has 1/2in Loc-Line or some version of module hose that is similar to 1/2in Loc-Line.

based on what I see, you would likely just need the RFGs, and not a flow full kit

WHat brand aquarium is this - i looked though you build thread, but couldn't determine for sure - sort of looks like some sort of Red Sea tank?

let me know and I can better recommend the correct RFG or RFG flow it to fit the tank.,

haa - that's why i could't figure it out form the photos. it not a super common tank but they are very nice.

The cool thing about the tank is they actually come standard with genuine 1/2in Loc-Line - and it seems like you already split it off into to outlets.

So my first assumption is correct - you only need the 1/2in RFGs

the only other thing you may considerer adding, if you don't already have some is a few extra segments of the 1/2in Loc-line so that you can get the RFG nozzles below the water line.

Also - I happen to know there will be a 4th of july sale coming up soon, (wink-wink) so keep your eyes pealed
