A quick demonstration of the flow resulting from a spray bar in an aquarium. I had a few people request such a video so I made it - that's how it works.

Hi there, welcome back.
Since I made the last video on this tank showing the flow patterns
of a simulated canister filter,
I've literally had some requests to show a spray bar.
So in this video
that's what we're going to take a look at.
Again, I've got the 1200 litre an hour pump which,
well for you guys in the US that is,
and we've got a spray bar that covers most of the tank.
Now our intake is here from the pump if it
was a canister filter it would be down here
roughly the same sort of position on that back corner of the tank
so our intake is here the
outlet is all the way along here and let's see
what happens with this and you may be surprised
because I was I didn't realize just how effective
this spray bar is and I shall speed this up just
so you can see exactly what is happening.
As you can see, we've got a mountain
of stuff collecting in this back corner here, which
is exactly where our inlet would be.
So that would be our intake push into the canister filter
or into the pump, spitting
out across here.
This end is our capped end.
So the capped off end of the spray bar wants
to be at the opposite end to our intake.
And look at that.
Just look at that.
I was blown away when I saw this the first time,
because obviously I've been fannying around with it for a little
while before actually turning the camera on.
Whoops, my glasses. Forgot about them.
Just turn that off.
See the gel balls settling down into position now.
Look at all that there, man. That's absolutely class.
What I'm going to do now is set up the camera on the end of the tank,
so hopefully you'll be able to see the cyclical motion of the muck.
Represented by these gel balls moving around,
gradually working its way from one side to the other
and settling down here.
Righty.
Spray
bar
is up
here,
firing
that
way.
Okay, and just have a look how much muck is in this corner.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
There's an absolute nation of muck in this corner
and that is where our intake is gonna be.
So there you go, spray bar, intake here, output here.
Capped end off here, spray coming round,
moving everything this way into that corner.
Look at that. That's a massive pile of muck.
If you found this video useful,
give it a thumbs up, share it wherever you want.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.
