    Question Spray Bars in a Salt tank?

    Does anyone utilize a spray bar in salt tanks on their return line. Would salt percipitation be a problem? Would you locate it below the water line or just at the water surface if you use one?

    you would get salt creep from hell with that device. Salt would not precipitate. If used under the water line, it would be used for flow, but you would have to have a good pump on that. Above the water line, would create some splashing and salt creep would be crazy. What ya thinkin of using it for?

    About the only application I've seen spray bars used in was a refugium. The bar was placed in the water and was used to get chaeto to tumble.
