That is an awesome little project, great job. You just assisted me in solving my directional flow issue. And now I'm gonna be able to make it more broad. Thanks

Here is my 1" x 2" adjustable TROWSKI FLOW ACCELERATOR

Now you see why i can never finish my build........LOL

WHO'S NEXT?

 

[Derbird]

Wow that looks great. I like how the flow is more spread out and on a side bonus its much easier on the eyes then those long lock lines. I'm going to have to give thses a try

Thank you for the walk through.

Silly question, what type of paint do you guys use that is reef safe and can resist saltwater?

 

[Spinner]

Yeah he had a great idea I use Krylon Fusion paint and anything thats in salt water i also use Krylon UV sealer. It give the fittings a smooth glass feel....pretty nice stuff. But don't tell Peppie SSssssssssssssssssss

 

[kpiotrowski]

YES Grasshopper. You learn well lol. Looks cool. how many do you plan to use?

 

[Spinner]

Hey Master I was at the outlets point of my build when you shared your idea perfit timing for me

I will have 2 - 2" x 1" up back corners of tank and 6 - 1 1/2"x 1" at other outlets 8 total. I like others are liking the wide flow too i will push 1300gph each outlet with my pumps minus stuff, but it will be nice to bump flow 1/3rd +- ....... nice one! lolx10

You never cease to amaze me. I was talking to THE MASTER when he was in the R&D stage of this gadget. I asked him if he could make the intake smaller and the transition to the larger outlet less abrupt. Low and behold, there it is two weeks later!!!
Now all you need to do is heat up some sand in the oven to about 350. Stick the last half of the larger PVC fitting into it, let it get good and flexible, then smuch it down onto something round and a little bit larger in diam. Makeing the out flow tube kinda the shape of a bell. Wider flow pattern!!!

As always I like your bi-color approach.

 

[kpiotrowski]

peppie, yeah heating the pvc with a torch doesn't work. lol had to try it. good idea about the sand.

 

[kpiotrowski]

Spinner, have you done a water test of the design? is that in the cards for us?

 

[Spinner]

Water are you qraaaaazy i run a dry reef less chance of a crash Yeah i am trying to have my system running by Christmas we get five days off. I have everything now except two special made 1/2 ball check valves that are on back order I will send you two 3/4" ones after Christmas so you can see them work side by side this is your baby i just make Frankensteins

I was trying to explain how to mold PCV into a( bell shape / flair ) by the use of heated sand.

It was directed to you, Spinner

 

[kpiotrowski]

a christmas present for me, spinner??? awesome! I'll try one out and see how it work on 350gph.

 

[Spinner]

OK i understand now i know you have made your skimmer tops make one of these since you have the process down. I know you, mojo, and many others here have ideas and some tweeking to come up with different looks. Since i saw his video i have been thinking about the secondary flow/pulse flow going on at the same time. You could maybe see the flows using air?

Here is another PROTOTYPE of my Trowski Flow Accelerator

 

[mercenary-grunt]

I tried to show in the first pick that the holes in the barrel can line up with outer casing holes if wanted. Or just twist it and it makes two separate flow chambers.......why is that important? Don't know yet if it means anything, time will tell
