Its not about spraybars or lilypipes (to a point). Its about flow and circulation. I have studied the flow and circulation of the ADA setups - and they are set up quite good.
The positioning of the output and intake gives a circular flow. The lilypipe removes surfacescum /(proteins = nutients) and the flow makes sure everyting passes the filter, with the intake in the bottom.
Now - I noticed the CO2 diffuser is usually placed in the opposite side - hence dragging the CO2 bubbles downwards over the diffuser and towards the intake.
Most people place their diffuser under the spraybar - but this flow draws the bobbles up and more CO2 is lost.
But back to the spraybar/No spraybar discussion: Looks. Crystal clear Lilypipe or plastic green spraybar.
