Hi,
Did not know which section to post this so sorry if it is in the wrong Forum.
I am wondering if it is a good/bad idea to raise my outlet/inlet pipe? , I always mix them up.
I mean the pipe that takes the tank water to the filter!.
I have noticed over the last week or so that I am getting very large amounts of co2 bubbles sticking all over the top of the tank and it is taking a lot longer for my water to become co2 saturated, it also does not look nice with the light reflecting off these bubbles.
I notice that there appears to be a dust film on top of the water and although I have raised the spray bar to get lots of agitation it just does not want to break up.Later I will see if I can soak any up with sheets of kitchen roll.
Last week I did a filter clean but that has not made any difference, and the only thing I can think of is the inlet? may be perhaps not circulating the water efficiently enough. I have a bushy Hygrophila guanensis right next to the pipe and I am wondering whether this is impeding the good circulation?
If it is, would it matter if I raised the pipe from the bottom of the tank to maybe half to 3/4 of the depth of the tank? I will move the plant if it is necessary for good circulation.
Thanks
