also used to slow down filtration

Anthony, I can't think of one situation where this would be an advantage.

He probably meant 'to slow down the current' (as the return is distributed).

Aha, my grasp of the engrish language isn't that good wink.gif

That would make more sense.

"Slow down / dissipate the return flow" would have been a better way to put it.

Spray bars put an even spread of return water. They can be place just at (aimed slightly upwards) or above the water line (aimed downward), and increase oxygenation. They can also take the force out of return water if too strong a volume is being returned.

I also use one of the holes on the spray bar to attach an airline hose, to pump water through a separate container, floating in the tank itself. I quarantine fish here, so they can recover from injury, or put babies in it. I have no concerns for lack of oxygen.
