spary bar

[alan j t]

hi all
i just cleaned my fluval 304 and now it is blowing the discus away :!:
they stay near the intake now and not enjoying the rest of the tank
by the way its a 55 gallon planted tank
so my question to you all do you use a spary bar :?:
and if so do you by one at your lfs :?:
or do you make one of your own at your local harware store :?:
or another idea :?: :? :?:

I made my own spray bar. Cost me about $10 or so to make one 1m long

304 uses 16/22mm hoses i think.

you can use some 15mm pvc condut and a 15mm endcap, shouldn't cost you more then $5.

if your in syd i can make one up for you with some pipe I've got scrap from my sponge filters

thankx illusn
but i live in the states
do you use a 90 degree elbow as well
or does it sit a little crooked without one

[ILLUSN]

I use the elbow that came with the filter, again i'm only guessing at your hose diameter, its either 16/22 or 12/16 either way you shoulnt have any trouble putting one together.

I used 90 degree elbows, which is why mine cost a little bit more.

Drilling the holes is easy enough, unless you are lazy and uncoordinated like me and dont bother to drill them in a straight line...

thankx guys
i bought some pvc piping
the elbow doesnt match the pipe
niether does the cap
but o well
my drilling is crooked as well
hopefully no one can notice it and the algea covers it all
\so it can all match :lol: :roll: :lol:
