Spraybars w/ sand?


Do any of you have a spray bar and have sand in their tank? Too much flow?

i push nearly as much water through my spraybars on my dsb tank as my BB tank.

Difference is that on the BB tank, many of the holes are aimed to cram the flow against the floor, whereas on the dsb tank they are aimed to sweep just the surface

Yes I do... No it's not In fact my list of upgrades is a bigger pump. I try to keep the area under the rocks completely void of sand and the sand only in the visible areas. Seems to be working well, but only results from the long term will let me know for sure.

I'm confused Hop. You built your LV structure on BB and then added sand and somehow can stop it from creeping around the rock? I need a pic of this.
