Where do I aim my spray bar?
Position your spraybar horizontally, a few inches under the surface. Point the holes very slightly upward, to get some surface agitation/oxygen exchange. It doesn’t take much agitation to oxygenate the water, and it certainly doesn’t result in much CO2 loss if you do it right.

Which direction should the spray bar be angled?
If you just want to create strong surface agitation along a narrow section of your aquarium, you can angle the spray bar downward so that it just churns the surface water. 3. Angled toward the glass
