Aquatic 85DIRECT [2" OD] [Directional] Emerald, White

Shape the flow in your aquarium with the Aquatic 85DIRECT directional jet nozzle. Engineered for precise, targeted water movement, this 2" outer diameter jet helps you eliminate stagnant zones, improve filtration efficiency, and create healthy, evenly circulated environments for both reef and freshwater setups. The Emerald body with White accents offers a clean, modern look that blends seamlessly with your tank hardware while delivering purposeful performance.

Key benefits that matter in real-world tanks

• Precise directional control: Pivot the jet to direct flow exactly where you need it—whether toward coral shelves, substrate beds, or filter intakes—so you can tailor circulation to your inhabitants and décor.
• 2" OD compatibility: Designed for standard bulkhead fittings and common line sizes, simplifying installation in upgrades or new builds without custom adapters.
• LuxAir-inspired efficiency: Optimized jet geometry reduces turbulence and promotes smooth, laminar flow, enhancing gas exchange and reducing energy waste.
• Integrated Emerald/White finish: A visually appealing hue that coordinates with common plumbing and tank accents, helping your equipment disappear into the display rather than stand out.

Practical use cases

• Reef aquariums: Direct the current to SPS/LPS zones to maintain stable flow without creating overly strong gusts that stress delicate corals.
• Planted freshwater tanks: Targeted jets keep nutrients and debris suspended in the water column for efficient filtration and plant uptake.
• Sumps and filtration chambers: Use the directional jet to improve skimmer performance by guiding surface movement and maximizing contact with bubbles.

Installation and setup tips

• Plan your flow map: identify areas with poor circulation and position the 85DIRECT to address those zones first.
• Adjust gradually: small directional tweaks can significantly change tank dynamics—test settings over a few hours and observe debris suspended in the water.
• Combine with other flow devices: use alongside return pumps or powerheads to achieve a balanced, multi-directional current throughout the display.

Who this is for

• Keepers building or upgrading reef rooms who need reliable, directed flow without bulky hardware.
• Anyone seeking a visually cohesive, color-matched nozzle that doesn’t compromise on performance.
• Aquarists aiming to optimize oxygenation, detritus suspension, and filtration efficiency in both saltwater and freshwater tanks.

Why the Aquatic 85DIRECT stands out

It isn’t just another nozzle. The 85DIRECT combines precise directional control with a robust 2" OD footprint and a distinctive Emerald-White aesthetic, delivering purposeful flow management that translates into healthier livestock, clearer water, and easier tank upkeep. If you value targeted circulation, easy compatibility, and a clean visual fit in your aquarium, this directional jet is a thoughtful upgrade to your system.
