DennisP Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 As most of us know, they don't actually make a spray bar. Now, I will make my own. I went around some shops asking if they had any spray bars (internet suggested using a fluval spray bar kit as it fits perfectly) but to no success. A guy at animates suggested using Alkathene (spelling) tubing and drilling holes in it. I went to Mitre 10 and the Alkathene tubing they had was of a hose-like texture, which I did not have in mind. I saw that someone on here, who I bought some plants off one day, had made himself his own, but I think it was a pre-made spray bar, which I could not find. (I can't remember your name so if you read this send me a pm ) Has anyone made one themselves as well, and can suggest what materials to use? I will post my progress on here for others benefits as I couldn't find much on the internet last time I looked. Thanks, Dennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 At the moment I can't remember the name of the place but there is a place in Sydenham that I have bought rigid plastic tubing from in the past. Try the yellow pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Any plumbing store will have the plastic tube you need, it will be a little flexible but for the short little bit you need it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh_S Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I had the same problem last weekend trying to set up a spray bar for my fry tank. I ended up using the clear aqua one tubing from lfs. Drilled holes in it and put a stopper in the end. Its doing the job for the time being but would like to go with something more rigid eventually. I was thinking some pvc piping would do if i can get my hands on it. Let us know how ya go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
