Hello Guys,
Still running the Dennerle Scapers tank with the Fluval 306 and Gush Lily Pipes (Inlet & Outlet) and I think I am still getting flow issues. I am getting what I believe is Black-brush algae growing around some areas of the wood mostly the back. This is really starting to put a downer on the hobby, I have spent an absolute fortune on this tank but I am not willing to give up just yet.
This is more than likely down to co2 flow issues from what I have been able read, I have also noticed that the current in the tank is not exactly the strongest. In fact its not to strong at all.
At this point after spending the money on the lily pipes the next option seems to be to get a power head? Keeping in mind that this is a 50L shallow tank what recommendations would you guys have? Are their any small yet powerful power heads on the market at the minute? The less intrusive looking the better, this is really a last resort for me as I am all for the less in the tank the better, but ofc fish and plants come first.
I want to make sure I have a decent flow before I have to re-buy all of my plants.
As always all/any help is very much appreciated!
