Well after a long time looking and lots of questions here (thanks for the help) I think I figured out how to do under gravel jets that will make me happy. So far I have my closed loop system I'm hoping to finish the rest this week tells what you think so far


It's 3/4 inch PVC coming from my sump I have a siphon break hole at the very top of the water

The "jets" are going to tie off the main loop it will be 3/4 PVC then a 3/4-1/2 PVC 90' elbow with a cap I will drill holes in the cap so I can direct the water flow any direction I choose

Only draw back is I will have to have the sand about 1 n half inches deep

All said and done I plan on having 8-10 "jets" with 3-4 holes each depending on where I place my rocks

If I place my rocks right I should be able to hide most the "jets" the ones that I can't hide I think I am going to glue sand to them so they don't look so bad

More pics to come as I finish

Undergravel filters are an 80's thing..........I suggestr removing the substrate if anything is to be done about the flooring..................
