Ehiem Spray Bar

[Saravanan]

Hi fellow reefers, I am currently using a eheim caninster filter for my 2ft tank. Where should the spray bar be placed ?

1. A few centimetres above the water level

2. Beneath the water surface.

I have placed mine above the water surface. The problem is that water tend to splash onto my lights causing to built up salt on my lights.

Pls advise your suggestions.

then place it beneath the surface.....

Will there be water aeration at the suface if i place the spray bar beneath the water surface?

[SpiderOne]

?? this is not a freshwater tank. my spraybar is modified for pure current . aeration comes from skimmer.

[Saravanan]

Oops...i what i meant was the current not aeration. Mine is a marine tank. Anyway,

Thanks for your replies.

juz put it a little below the surface for some current without splashing. i cut lines into mine so the water is more flat out .

it's simple, just tilt the outlet abit higher pointing at the water surface and tats yr current. i am doing so without any wave maker
