Spray bar

[mandi29221]

I'm shortly getting a 75 gal non drilled, and we are not drilling. Could we do a spray bar? Good idea or bad idea?

Yes, i’m Guessing you are just asking about doing a closed loop spray bar for circulation/turnover? Also guessing you just don’t want the look of power heads in the tank?

So what’s the point of a spray bar in a 75 gallon?

Are you talking about plumbing your return line as a over the top of the tank spray bar?
It's done alot. I did that on a tank several years ago.

Yes

Did one in a 55 gallon I had years ago, works great for surface agitation just remember to drill some holes angled downwards so you can give your corals some flow too.

Unfortunately no but let me try and draw something and show you how I had mine.

So here is a close example of what I had. My bar was mounted on the left side of my tank and my overlfow was on the right side. Red dots show how I had my holes drilled and I had a hole drilled on the left cap to make sure there wasn't a dead spot on that end of the bar and the rear of the bar. I mounted mine just below the waterline. Hope that helps.

Thank you exactly what I was looking for
