| Re: spraybar?? ah that sucks..... well at least ya tried. I would imagine that on the inflow end of the bar you oculd start out with a little bit smaller holes and then work your way bigger at the other end.....might be something to toy around with. Can always go bigger but cant go back haha

| Re: spraybar?? It kind of funny because I kept the spray bar in my tank because it got covered in coralline algae. It is still in there now. No pump though. When I get my 90g tank I will add a spray bar, maybe a closed loop.

| Re: spraybar?? Im goin with the idea Hosser has with going from small holes to bigger ones on the way out for my 120.... I use a reeflo dart and the out inlet for the pump is 2" the outlet is 1.5" .... so i have a 1.5" that goes to a y split and makes to 3/4"... and which point it goes over into the tank and has its different oulets .. later im planning on putting loclines in... we will see.once it gets to the horizontal the real umph required is reduces significantly depending on how big the holes are .. im still gonna use koralia 4 power heads in there anyhow ..... i just want to spread my fresh clean water out evenly in the tank just trying to reduce stagnant water areas.....
