Just posting this here to help anyone else out that has this problem...

Installed a couple of Fluval 404's and used a spray bar for each of their outputs. Well, I was unhappy to hear a very loud whining noise coming from the tank! Seems that the 404's output is high enough to cause the spray bar to "whistle".

Solution? I drilled an additional hole between each of the existing holes on the spray bar, doubling the number of holes. Problem solved! And I like the lower pressure that each "spray hole" emits now as well....

Great idea! If there's too much water flow then it's well worth the effort....

I didn't know that they started selling them. I had to make my own out of PVC. Oh Well!!:)
