Waterbox Aquariums and the Random Flow Generator - A Perfect Match!

[Vivid Creative Aquatics]

If I have a 25 gallon peninsula with the stock pump what size would I need? Probably the 1/4?

If you are sticking with the with the stock pump for that tank you actually have a few options. The stock pump is lsited as a 1000 L//H (264 GPH) pump. that's enough to overdrive a singe 1/4in RFG or supply just the right amount for a dual 1/4in RFG setup.

You could also do a single 1//2in , but it would be at the lower end of the suggested flow rating for hat RFG,

Here are your two best options

Dual 1/4in RFG
You'll need the Ultimate Nano Tank Return Line Upgrade kit and a 16.5mmWaterbox adapter. You'll find both of these items listed at the bottom of this page.

With that said our new Flex-Series 3/4in RFG nozzles will fit the Waterbox system with the DN20 return pipes WITHOUT adapters. The flexible nozzle simply stretchers to fit that hose.

Its possible our 1in Flex-Serie RFG may fit . You can view the 1in here

It has a fitment range of aprox 31mm to 33mm

If you can get an Outer Diameter measurer to of the stock how, that would be helpful.

Almost all the older models (excluding the Cube and Peninsula Minis) have the DN15 sized stock return nozzles. This is a similar hose size to 1/2in Loc-Line, but not quite close enough to use a 1/2in RFG, so you'll need a kit that includes the adapters for 22mm modular hose hose.

We just release a new 1/2in Flex-Series RFG Flow kit that includes this adapter (plus a few others). Your tank should have two outlets, so you'll need two of these kits - one for each side:

If it's the older Waterbox Reef 180.5, then it should have stock DN15 return nozzles which you would need the same 1/2in RFG pre-configured flow kit in the previous replay

This kit has the 2122-050 Flex adapter, which will allow you to attach it to your stock return line.

You'll need two kits - one for each side.

If its DN20, then the standard 3/4in Flex-Series RFG will fit the stock hose - no adapter necessary.

however, if you want to extend that hose, we have an adapter that can accomplish that that for you

@Vivid Creative Aquatics I am planning on getting this to my waterbox aio peninsula 65.4. with sicce syncra 2.0. Flow is little more than what you recommend for 1/2 ” model. Is this still good choice? Cheers!

Its a great choice - especially y if you plan on supplying MORE flow than the Suggested Optimal Flow (SOF) Rating

The SOF ratings for each Random Flow Generator are where we feel you get the best randomization for the least amount of back pressure - it's sort of the sweet spot. However, if you have more flow than the SOF rating, you get an even bigger and more pronounce effect, at the cost of a little more head pressure

For the single 1/2in RFG you should a shoot for around 400-450 GPH or more - the Sicce 2.0 will make that RFG rock!
