i too have tried many methods in a deep tank, 36x24x24", including multiple filters with split outlets, koralias, powerheads, etc., and the full-length spray bar has worked best for me as well. i attach mine in the back, about 1-2" below water line aimed about 5 degress down. it's powered by a large powerhead misting with a co2 line, and the sweeping trail of tiny bubbles rolling across the tank is a great way to gauge flow characteristics. it's the most uniform and efficient method i've seen thus far.
