ok, i know im late, but ive seen some posts talking about these, do they make them to fit on loc-line? if so, does anyone know an online store that carries these parts?

You might be able to connect them to locline(never tried). Don't you have a nano? If so you've got two things going against you. I'm pretty sure that you need a pressure rated pump to see big results with eductors. If they do work you'll have a tidal wave in your nano. My reef creations sells them and there's a DIY thread in the DIY section here.

i dont have a nano, i have a 46 gallon bow, my pump is a quite one 1200, its pushing @ 200 gph at 4' i wanna get the 3000 to push 600 @ 4' are either of these enough flow to run an eductor??

I am running my DIY educators on quietone 3000s, I get more flow than I had, around 1.5 to 2 times.

Real educators or penducators cots around 20 bucks a piece. For your setup, unless you plan to throw a high (quetone 4000HH would work) pressure pump on, the DIY's will get you by for the time being.
