spray bars

Has anybody used spraybars before. ive some things about them like they add movement behind you LR. Should i get one. are they worth it.

 

I have a custom made one behind my rockwork and so far so good. It's done a great job so far keeping detritus off my rock and sand.

 

Thanks for the feedback AC! Do you have a pic of your custom set up? TIA

 

Hey Craig. I posted pics of my spray bar on this thread:

Hopefully, that link will work

 

Thanks AC!

 

i was also thinking about doing a custom spray bar behind all my rock but i am concerened about it becoming plugged up over time with algae growth and everything any thoughts on this

 

The only way I can see the spray bar or pump getting clogged up is if it's left turned off for a long while. The pump on my spray bar has a strainer on it that prevents anything from getting into it so that doesn't concern me either. If you place the spray bar in an area that's easy to reach, you shouldn't have any problem getting to it if need be. I only have to remove/move 3 pieces of rock in order to get to mine.
