My spray bar holes are always getting clogged up with brown gunk and was wondering if drilling the holes bigger would solve this and whether it would have any detrimental effect's on my set up.
Thanks 🙂

That is an interesting idea :idea: I will remember that for possible future use myself 🙂
Hi Durty,
If you have a lot of gunk then maybe this is saying something... maybe simpler just give all your pipes a good clean!
I'm not meaning to criticise, just offering another angle in case that helps you.
When I see dirt on my substrate I know to clean my filter foam. When I see cloudy water I know it is time to clean the fine filter floss. I'm not one for test kits or measurements, much prefer using those kinds of signs where I can.
