*^&%^*%*^& Photobucket!!

try posting your pic in the TRT Photo gallery and linking it to your thread.

i do not suggest making your return into a spraybar, unless it is a waters surface spraybar. having the return going all the way to the bottom of the tank will create quite the flood risk if the power were to go out. if you do put an antisiphon hole up near the surface you will be pushing a lot of water out of that hole instead of the spraybar.

putting the spraybar on a CLS is a great idea though.

I did thinking of using the antisiphon on top.

hmm how about this? I do not like the look of a sparybar on the top of the tank

i like second pic better. you also do not need a spraybar on the top of the tank. a good flow nozzle will work just fine. it will have better penetrating power across the tank also.

Thank you for using the TRT Photo Gallery!

to make the pics show up in the thread itself instead of a link do this. in the Quick Reply box there is an icon with mountains and a moon on it. if you click on this than past the address for the pic, the pic will show up directly in the post.
