My Xp3 on my 60g is way to strong, Its placed on the back wall an when it one for a few ours it moves all the gravel on the ground level. Was there a tool in the box i missed to limit flow? What about if i move the out to the side wall and aim it down the tank?
 
What does this peace look like? i trashed the box and just have box left of junk...
 
Are you using the spray bar or the jet? IF you are using the jet, remove it, see if that helps.
 
It came with a jet??? Lol no ihave the spraybar ifound it this morning. Doesnt attach to the piping just slips on? Mmm
 
Hm wow, this is the first time a xp3 current has been too strong in history! are you sure its fully loaded?

The spray bar should have little clips for attaching to the piping...
 
so now your good....that's why I was wondering I was using an XP4 for a 50 GL Tank and had no problems with it regarding the flow.
 
Well if you look at my new post you can see what media i am using. the flow was fine. but it was moving my gravel around making a pit n uprooting plants.. i should of placed it on the left wall and shot the thing down the tank not back to front.
 
drill more holes into the spray bar to reduce some of the flow.
 
Ive got an xp3 on a 40 gallon tank with the jet and I have no problems with flow being to much, only the opposite
