This is a custom part designed by myself, being a reef keeper and Red Sea Reefer tank owner, I produced this to solve the issues of the standard return nozzle. My 3D printed adjustable dual return pipe for the Red Sea Reefer Series of tanks allows you to split the return flow from the standard stock pipe

The addition of two injection moulded fully adjustable pipes in conjunction with random flow nozzles on each end provides random flow within the tank.

Each arm of the return pipe allows you to direct the return flow where it is needed for better health of the ecosystem. Key benefits of this modification are running higher flow rates through this dual nozzle replacement and also stopping your sand bed from being blown around in the tank.

The Red Sea Reefer dual return pipe is suitable for all tanks in the Reefer range, including the Red Sea Reefer Nano / 170 / 250 / 350 / 450 / XL 425 / XL 525 / XXL 625 / XXL 750 / Peninsula 500 / Peninsula 650.

Installation is simple just remove the stock Red Sea Reefer inner return pipe, this just pulls out, then just slide this into the stock return pipe.

The 3D printed return nozzle is the strongest available, printed using PLA+ this is several times tougher than PLA and PETG. Then each part is annealed, annealing plastic involves gently reheating the substance to a point above its glass transition temperature, but below its melting temperature, and then slowly allowing it to cool. Like the annealing of metal, this reheating and cooling increases the amount of crystalline structures in the plastic. Both of these things, in turn, makes the plastic stronger, stiffer and more resistant to the stresses that cause failure.

First of all being a reef keeper and Red Sea Reefer tank owner I experienced in tank problems with the standard return pipe. I produced this custom Red Sea Reefer dual return pipe to solve issues with the stock return pipe. My 3D printed dual return pipe nozzle for the Red Sea Reefer Series of tanks allows you to split the return flow from the standard stock pipe providing more random flow within the tank for better health of the ecosystem. Key benefits are running higher flow rates through this split pipe replacement part and stopping your sand bed from being blown around in the tank.

Hence installation is simple just remove the stock Red Sea Reefer inner return pipe, this just pulls out. Then just slide this into the stock return pipe.

As a result my 3D printed return nozzle is the strongest available and totally reef safe. Due to printing using PLA+ each part is several times tougher than PLA or PETG. First of all each part is annealed, annealing plastic involves gently reheating the substance to a point above its glass transition temperature, but below its melting temperature, and then slowly allowing it to cool. So like the annealing of metal, this reheating and cooling increases the amount of crystalline structures in the plastic. Both of these things in turn, makes the plastic stronger stiffer and resistant to the stresses that cause failure.
