    I voted spray bar, because I think it will help with dead spots. Plus, I think I remember you saying that you wanted to eventually get your flow from a single wavemaker, so you probably wont need the extra flow from the return.

    Well, either way it wouldn't be very intrusive. The trim is 2" wide, and I am using 1" PVC. In either case (elbows or bar) I can keep it above the trim line and you would never even see it unless you kneeled down and looked up into the tank. Plus I will be painting the PVC to match background so it will hide it even better.

    I had a short conversasion about it with him. He isn't concerned with little things like this. When you are the most powerful force in the world, you have more important things on your mind, apparently.

    I actually got a loc line and played with it a bit, but I personally don't really like them. It just sticks out and is a little too intrusive for my tastes.

    I have decided to go with a spray bar. I can keep it well hidden, and can put an endless variety of holes directed wherever, so I think it's the best option.
