Re: [GSAS-Member] Adapter for the end of a canister hose

[Laurel Larsen <laurelthequeen@gmail.com>]

There are a few options for the output depending on what you're trying  
to do with it.  A spraybar seems to be the most common application,  
and breaks the surface nicely.  If you already have something breaking  
the surface(I have a HOB style filter in addition to my canister), you  
can have an aimable output to help get you the circulation that you  
want.  I have mine creating a bit of a whirlpool in conjunction with  
my HOB and a powerhead on the bottom of the tank that after fine- 
tuning keeps poo from settling on the sand.  I believe that there are  
other types of outputs, but those are the 2 main ones that I've seen.

This website, which is terrible, also has the lowest prices I've been  
able to find and the order that i placed with them was promptly  
shipped after the paypal thing cleared.

   They might have what you're looking for, but it would take some  
wading through, their search function isn't very good.  Another option  
is to try a good website and get a part number then search by that. :)
