Azizza  Mega Fish Posts: 1134 Kudos: 713 Votes: 0 Registered: 09-Mar-2003 | I just use a standard nozzle. They are about 7 bucks. I have a slow turnover rate between my tank and pump. Probably only about 175-200 GPH so a spray bar would be wasted. |

| fishheadfred Fish Addict Posts: 708 Kudos: 653 Votes: 12 Registered: 30-Jul-2003 | Never heard of "loc-line" .I do like the idea of bi-directional flow. AZIZZA does G.T. carry either of these? |

| fishheadfred Fish Addict Posts: 708 Kudos: 653 Votes: 12 Registered: 30-Jul-2003 | Oh yeah,I am thinking of going with the CAP 2200 for the pump.This should give me in the 300 to 400 gpm range! |

| Azizza Mega Fish Posts: 1134 Kudos: 713 Votes: 0 Registered: 09-Mar-2003 | I use a cap-1800 on mine. good pump. I got my j Tube at GTPC. it splits the flow at the nozzle at about a 60 degree angle so it isn't just a strait return. |

| Azizza Mega Fish Posts: 1134 Kudos: 713 Votes: 0 Registered: 09-Mar-2003 | Hmm. Sounds like a waste of a perfectly good AQ300 to me. Just buy one of the good acrylic ones.  |

| fishheadfred Fish Addict Posts: 708 Kudos: 653 Votes: 12 Registered: 30-Jul-2003 | Its an old A/C without a motor and I will have about $10 into it instead of $80 at G.T. May not work worth $10 then I will break down and buy the one at the LFS.[span class="edited"][Edited by Fishheadfred 2004-07-26 06:51][/span] |
