RemoGaggi Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I've got a IM Fusion 20 gallon and running a Sicce 1.0 (251gph) pump into the stock dual outlets. I also have a MP10 running as well. I've been thinking of getting the VCA RFG nozzles. Looking at the suggested flow rates for the 1/2" RGF nozzles from the VCA website it says for 1 nozzle minimum flow is 120-150gph with optimal flow being 300 gph to 500 gph. For 2 nozzles, minimum flow is 250-400 gph and optimal is 640 gph. My Sicce 1.0 pump is rated for 251 gph. With the output line going to a "Y" and then two separate spouts, each output is getting roughly 125 gph, which is at the bare minimum for the RFG nozzles. However, if I run a single line, my pump will (theoretically) pump 251 gph, which is close to the optimal flow for a single nozzle. So the question becomes is 1 nozzle near the optimal flow rate better than 2 nozzles at the bare minimum flow rate in my Fusion 20? Given that I also have an MP10 running, would it make sense to just run a single output from the Sicce 1.0 to a single RGF nozzle? Has anyone set it up this way? What are you thoughts? Will it make an improvement over what I have now or am I just looking for ways to spend money at this point. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I use 1 Rfg nozzle in my nuvo 10 with the mighty jet which is 326gph run at full power. My 25g has 2 returns going to a Y with 1 mighty jet with 538gph, 2 rfg nozzles. Pump run at 538. I also have a aqamai running. I have gotten the best flow with this set up. 1 Quote Link to comment
