    Hi everyone,

    I am looking for Duckbill spray nozzles that can be attached to return pumps.

    Has anyone seen them available locally?

    Hi.
    Just out of curiosity. Why this specific type of spraybar?

    Hi,
    Fish we have are a combination of big fish, messy eaters and others as loaches that thrive on extra current in tank

    We aslo have fair sized pieces of driftwood.
    With this setup, you always battle to keep the bottom of your tank clean
    To assist with forcing debris into your sump and cannister intakes and avoiding dead spots behind driftwood, etc... We have power heads in tank

    However, the powerheads outlet pushes the water out in a straight line which often does not reach where you want it,the pressure is too much and blows your sand away and sometimes damages plants that are in the way..

    With these nozzles you can break up the current and direct it in more than one direction, ie back and side of tank and the 'duck' shape gives you the flow more spread out.
    Hope I make sense
