This is to take the output of a larger pond/aquarium/fountain pump and split the output into multiple smaller hoses.
The cool thing about this it tries to create a laminar flow using a series of small hexagon tubes (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:41703) before running the water through a very gradual transition to the hoses. In theory, this will reduce the flow losses caused by turbulent flow and sudden changes in pipe diameters.
In practice, I was able to get the same amount of flow as
