Not sure if this should go here or in the diy section... but here goes
I'm finishing the plumbing on my 90g with a 40b sump. The pump is a mag 9.5 with 1.5" piping (just 2 45* elbows from the sump to the top of the display tank) it branches into a 1.5" tee fitting with 1" bushings into a pair of 1" spraybars
Building a canopy so the pipe wont be visible.
I positioned the run of pipe above the tank so the mess of 90* elbows to the spraybars aren't fighting gravity as much, if that makes sense?
Each one has 13 holes 3/16" in diameter, pipes are about 16" long
(Its spraying the wrong direction, but you get the idea) the water comes out nice and fat at a lower velocity. Im not worried about back pressure - I blocked the one spraybar and the amount of water coming out the other side didn't seem to change a whole lot.
Flow to the sump seems adequate, im inder 5ft of head, so im conservatively estimating 5-600 gph.
So anyway do you recommend spraybars? Or should I just go ahead with 2 small simple nozzles on each side?
