			 Tests went real well, this thing shoots like a fire hose. Have already started to put another couple of Rats together. Nice thing is not to have to worry about any O-Rings or internal leaks. Van

			 This I figured would allow me to put the unit in the front left-hand corner of my tank and it would still be effective since the jet-nozzle would be far enough away from the glass to avoid it hitting. Enter the friend.... "Hey, why don't you build one with two nozzles that rotate opposite to each other so they cover an area of 180 degrees...?" Is this something that appeals to you folks? 180 degree sweep Rats? Van

			 Sounds neat eh? It'll be 1" for sure, the only thing I'm wondering about is whether I should use a single feed pipe with an external Tee feeding the 2 outlet nozzles. Or perhaps 2 separate feed pipes for 2 pumps! This just gave me another idea Van
