So I'm just wondering about this new CO2 set up I'm using. Can anyone clarify this doubt I have. If I have a spray bar returning water into the tank from an external filter is it true that it shouldn't create any water disturbance on the surface of the water? In other words, should I be angling the returned water into the water under the surface so that the surface of the water is completely still? If there is disturbance will it mean that I'm driving off the CO2 that is being added by the pressurised system? And if that's the case and I'm not using any type of airstone, does it mean that I'm only relying on oxygen for the fish from the plants? I've lost a ram and six discus so far since adding the CO2 system so I'm a bit worried that this foray into CO2 is incompatible with keep fish. It would be useful to know about the CO2 / fish / oxygen balance if anyone can help. Thanks a lot!
