It should not be a problem to submerge the bar and if you would like surface agitation this will benifit with gas exchange | |

You will find out a spray bar is way over rated and they are a PINTA to deal with they seldon run long with removeing it and a acid soak and then poke out the little holes They creat to much bubble busting splash and thats a mess.
