Ever since I fell in love with aquascaping, I have wondered why many put co2 diffusers and other equipment right in front the scape. I wonder because I personally prefer to hide away equipment.
The same goes for cirkulation pumps... In this case it of course to get optimal flow in dead spots. That makes sense.
Is there a specific reason for why many place the co2 diffuser so close to the front, just over their carpet?
My own thought is that it might give better co2 for the carpet, but in case of no dead spot would the co2 not be present in the entire tank?
Or maybe some just like the statement it gives of being a high tech tank?
About creating the optimal cirkulation... it would be straightforward to place powerhead in the front of the aquarium and support filter outlet in creating a vortex effect.
I would like to hear your feedback on the following idea, as I might soon need a powerhead to create better circulation:
If the scape and placement on plants allows it would it make sense to attach some piping to the powerhead, so you could hide it away better. I am thinking you could get even more out of the pump, when making a bigger distance from the powerheads intake, and outlet. I might be wrong here, but at least it could be an idea on how to make equipment look less disturbing on the aquascape.
Thank you for sharing your insight...
And please dont banned my profile for asking this!
If you have a tank with all equipment very visual, It is 100% ok with me, what ever satisfy you and makes you happy... it is just my opinion and maybe, maybe not, a good simple ide on how to create optimal cirkulation in a tank without being too intimidating on the scape it self.
All this is very obvious, but I got banned from aquascapingworld.com for asking theise questions, and sharing the idea in a journal with a very nice aquascape with a lot of visual equipment. This made me very sad. And I do not wich to get banned here for asking these quistions.
And yes, I still wonder why... if the person who banned me is reading here, please reconsider if this was fair, as i would love to get my journal on ASW back, so I can read all the great feedback I got, decide among the many plant suggestions and so on... (or at least send me a private message here, and tell me what I did to upset you so much)
