Re: 21inch spraybar in a 24inch tank
Gang@Ukaps
Please find attached diagram of Ex1200 filtration layout.
I am curently running in my Eheim 2080 and my mix of filter media the majority is from my old 1200 of which I will be removing over a period of time, the mix is as follows:
Starting from bottom to top:
Bottom tray: Tetratec noodles + Black sponge + Eheim noddles.
Middle tray: Bio balls + black sponge topped up with substrat pro
Top tray: Substrat pro + black sponge buried in the middle
Then white filter floss - as supplied.
Outlet pipe from filter into reactor, fill with siporax, Co2 injected into Aqua medic 1000 reactor
Quite a mix - but its the only way to culture bacteria.
As for spray bars or lily pipes - i am going to be experimenting with a longer spary bar, double the length that eheim supply, its going from 16" to 32" because at the moment all my tall plants are being pushed to the front and my rummies when swimming for left to right or vice versa are at 70 degrees trying to beat the flow. If this does not work I will have to buy to lily pipes, but that going to be dear as i need two glass inlets and 1 glass outlet.

Paul.
