what the heck is the Marineland JetStream Supersystem. I cant find a picture or a link one google, but I have been up for almost 38 hours and I am very sleepy. You got a pic or something?

Nice Tank. What type of flow are you getting? hard to tell from here but that looks like 1 1/4 stand pipes.

they are 1 1/4 stand pipes. my problem is the bottom of the tank. not getting any flow down there. was wondering if i should use an undergravel filter or if a powerhead circulating the bottom would work

I have spray bares on each end of the tank. One is pointing down at a 45 angle and the other is shooting straight towards the other one. This gives me a nice undertoe and flow that keeps the water moving and the gravel clean.

forgive for sounding like a newbie. but what you mean spray bares? i think i know your talking about not sure. any pics?

Here is a pic where you can see the spray bar on the top right of the tank, in this picture I only have one spray bar.

Here is a picture of what a spay bar looks like, basicly a pvc retrun pip with a cap on the end and a lot of holes drilled.

Here is a video
