Steve, I just upgraded to a 72G tank. In the 55G a had the spray bar with
hole evry inch, some holes pointing to the rocks some tothe front of the
tank the problem is that if yo have sand it gets into some of the holes
clogging them so with the upgrade I place the spraybar on top of1/2" pvc
which was cut 1/2" wide then placed sideways then I siliconed the void in
front and the back to keep detritus from settleing behind the spraybar so
far so good. Joe
