Got my new 72gal Bowfront tank set up today. Bought it as a package deal,
tank, wood stand, gravel, heater, light and Cascade Canister Filter. I
presently have it set up with the spraybar just under the water and the
setup is very quiet but it is difficult to see the water movment and the
surface of the water is not agitated. Any idea what the preferred setup
might be for filters with a spraybar and spout option?

==================
My old Fluval has a spraybar. It goes about 1/2" ABOVE the water to agitate
the surface.

Thanks Koi-Lo. I didn't want to put it above the water due to the constant
noise. I may stick on the spout to see what it does.
