blindskater02 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Looks great! Very clean build! What made you choose the spray bars for the returns instead of a directional type flow? Link to comment
uma_cura Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 It happens that having spray bars each has 9 outputs, I can direct each output individually and independently and have good movement on the surface and in the tank as the currents are intertwined in the middle creating a vortex in my tank. Here I leave a picture of as more or less this current in the tank :The bars on the sides. in the center of the overflow the Koralia,simulating the flow lines are. The results are few or no dead flow of water into the tank. Sorry about the picture I have no way to create. 40B_wather_flow_in_thank.bmp Link to comment
