Avoid - Hydra Aquatics Nano Vortex Flow Spinner

[thespinningsadhu]

With great excitement I ordered the Hydra Aquatics Nano Vortex Flow Spinner to put in the Fluval Sea 5. No luck - it is a screw in and there aren't adapters to make it work. 

 

I decided to try it in my Fluval Sea XII. It fits. But does it spin?? NO. Not a millimeter. 

 

I have the Hydor spinner thing and it sticks out of the water and spins like a champ. This thing sticks out of the water just a bit and doesn't spin a bit. 

 

So, I'm not griping I just wanted to save others who own the aforementioned tanks time and money by posting this here as a searchable thread. 

 

Marine Depot was great and refunded my money and told me to toss it.

The pump may not be powerful enough to make it spin. 

 

I had the im spinner and while using 1 pump it didn't move but switched out the pump to a stronger one and it worked.
