Ya thats what I was trying to figure out. Could always put a small tapered end or reducer on it to have some pressure build up.

Chris, did you drill that hole for the pipe? also abs (black plastic pipe) is cheaper than pvc. scuffed up a little bit it would look great in a tank. thank you.

I'd be interested to see if this creates enough pressure for the spraybar to work effectively. Keep us updated.

I'm a little unsure of what you mean, which hole are you referring to? And that's true, I was unable to find 1/2" abs locally so I just went with painted pvc.

Chris, did you hard plumb just the input or did you do the output as well?

[Chrisbarnett]

I hard plumbed the output. I might plumb the input sometime.

They use Krylon fusion.

I figured since its made by rustoleum still it would be safe. And so far no feeder fish are dying in my tank lol. So I'm thinking yes it's safe.

See, you're smart, you use the feeder fish technique XD

When my dad would get a new tank for his sharks, lol, he'd put in some feeder guppies to check and make sure the pH was fine before he put in the sharks. The best part is the feeders become food for the sharks later on.
