Need help with SH tank Aquascaping and Flow Set-up

[taillonjohn]

I've been playing around all weekend, trying to get it right, but the result is I now have a pile of rocks with the spraybar set-up behind it. It doesn't seem right. I'm thinking that the rocks shoulldn't be built up like a wall (in a reef tank), where do the seahorses like to hang out in the tank? bottom of tank, middle,,,?

and where is the best place to position the spraybar to get the best flow on the rocks but not blow the seahorses around?

No one's got a spraybar in their tank? I just want to know where its positioned... behind the rocks, higher up in the tank, etc... anyone wanna help me out?

John,

Put the spray bar up high IMO, Im not into live rock much, but have it less high so much as spread out. If you have it all in one area it will create ded spots that are anerobic bacteria paradises, this is overcome in reefs by large water flows, harder to stop in seahorse tanks.
