I am using an Eheim professional 3 600 external filter (1250 lph) on my Juwel Rio 125, with 16/22 mm hose. I am currently using an APS (all pond solutions) spray bar, that came with the APS 1400 lph filter (which I no longer use). The reason I am using the APS spray bar and not the Eheim one, is because the Eheim shepherds crook will not fit in the slot of the Rio's hood. As in, I can't close the lid if I use the Eheim spray bar.
The flow from the spray bar is pathetic. Barely more than a trickle. This is because for some unknown reason, APS drill about a hundred holes in their spray bars, killing flow.
So I am looking for another spray bar that will fit the 16/22 mm hose, but that will allow me to actually close the lid of the tank. It needs to provide good flow, i.e. not have too many holes in it. The Eheim spray bars probably have the ideal number of holes.
Any advice?
Please, no replies telling me to cut open my tank hood or anything like that, I don't want to be doing any DIY to the tank here.
Cheers.
