I just got my 12 gallon JBJ DX cube going and I was wondering if there is a replacement for that very thin output nozzle in the tank. i'm not really crazy about the design and i feel that a better flow could be reached with something else...any ideas?

Output NOZZLE...not powerhead. i have the minijet 606 already. i ordered a different nozzle from an online store...i'll see if that makes a difference.

I have the kind that turns as water goes through it so it's like a mini wave maker. It's made by Hydor, if that helps.

once again, NOZZLE...not powerhead. look at the back of the nano cube, the nozzle that is located on the upper right hand side of the back. the black fan shaped nozzle that shoots the water out into the tank. not the powerhead in the back compartment. does anyone have any ideas on replacement NOZZLES (not powerheads)?

GEZZZZZZZZZZ !!!!!!!! .......some people just don't get it do they ?
i had the same thought also ...... about modifying the output nozzel also ....
possibly a homemade underwater spray bar with pcv attachments ?
hhmmmmmm ? ,............. sounds like a trip to the local ace hardware store ...lol
Zenway ..............let me know if you have any luck also - ok ?
thanks

When I got my first nanocube, I drilled an extra couple holes in the output to direct waterflow up and down instead of straight out. The second cube I got I used pvc and heated it up to shape the nozzle how I wanted then glued it on to the stock nozzle. Both work great.

zenway,
i see in a pic of your tank that you must have received your new nozzle for your output pump.
how good does it work - and is it worth the extra $ to add it ?
looks like a hydor flo rotating water defector if i'm guessing correctly - about $11.99 ?
