Diy Spraybar

[LucyHurst]

How might I make a spray bar to attach to this filter? http/www.pennplax.com/Pages/Aqua.pages..../Aqua20F.html That little blue bit the water comes out of does come off.. but the water squirts upwards (I found that out the other day when I knocked it off.. the ceiling got wet) so i could put some sort of elbow joint thing to make it squirt the right way.
But I've no idea.. so opinions welcome!

You could try and find tubing to go on it and deflect it down. Or connect the tubing to a hard tube with hole and put suction cups on the tube so its like a spraybar. I'm not sure, its a weird shape.

I take it that the blue nozzel comes off, then you can measure the diameter of the outlet and use Eheim spares to construct what you want.

Get some tubing that fits round it and silicone it on then attach the tube to the side with suction sups then drill some holes in the tube where you want it to spray??? Just an idea.

Thanks BigC that link looks good, i'll probably figure something out with some bits from there.

I hope I dont have to silicon anything, silicon hates me.. it just never sticks! I wouldnt want the thing to fall off and leave the filter to pump the tank's content all over the floor..

Should do. Lucy i still have that tank for sale BTW and it needs to go.
