i made a simple pvc spray bar by grinding some large slots into a piece of pvc, works really well and very cheap
That is a brilliant idea. I will do it tomorrow. BTW I tested the water the ammonia about 1 mgl, the lfs told me it is probally overfeeding, is that true? 2 feeds of premium and 1 beefheart or bloodworm a day. The bh and bw I never see left over, and the premium I feed with small amount.
and she also said that the beefheart should be fed once or twice a week. Is it correct? Thanks
Ps: It would be great if you could post the pix of DIY of spray bar. Because I don't want to scare them with the long PVC pipe in the tank
do some more water changes to get the ammo down, the feeds will rasie this level but if they are eating all the food don't stop feeding this will make the fish suffer
just to a couple of extra water changes, nice and gentle
Thanks for your great helpQuote:

thats about as good a shot as i can get,
the gaps are quite large so not to slow the flow, it just spreads the flow over that whole side of the tank. :wink:
That looks cool, I wanted to get it done today, but I don't have to time.
May I ask some stupid questions if you don't mind:
What is the diameter of this brilliant spray bar?
Do you leave it in the tank all the time ? Thanks
Cheers
that there is 20mm PVC
it is glued all the way up to the last two elbows (which are over the tank) these two unglued elbows allow me the flexability to move it to slighlt different angles when i chose to "Play around"
i started off haveing it sittng just out of the water, made a littel bit of noise, a little to much for my wife, now it sits in the water all the time
have fun :wink:
Thanks for that. It would be more appreciated if you could explain a little bit more.Quote:

to give myself some flexability i left the last two joins unglued, this meens i can just use my "superman like strength" to push them together
they seem to stay in place, but when i get bored and what to change the direction of flow i can use my "superman like strength" to move an twist the joins
this alone allows me to leap over buildings in a single bound! LOL
