1″ and 1.5″ Loc-Line and modular tubing in those diameters are the unicorn of aquarium plumbing: surely they must exist in some form for industrial applications but whatever the case, these holy grail outlets have never made an appearance in the aquarium hobby. The Omni Flex Nozzles from Oceans Motions aim to fill the gap where 1″ or larger modular fittings would be very welcome on large aquarium construction. Omni Flex nozzles are available in 1 and 3 piece sections that can articulate from 0 to 135 degrees depending on how many sections are used; they come with slip, male thread or female thread adapters and prices starting $16-26 for the 1″ OmniFlex and $20-40 for the 1.5″ sections. If you are cranking a lot of water volume through your reef you might
consider the dual nozzle which is only available in 1″ at a $5 premium to the configuration you choose. The price of the Omni Flex Nozzles might seem to be somewhat high per piece but if you consider how many 3/4″ loc-lines you’d be using to push the same amount of water the cost would add up quickly and DIYing similar pipes would probably just look tacky. The Omni Flex Nozzles are not exactly new but we thought it’d be worth to bring these little known devices to your attention. Any long term users care to chime in on their performance?
