Hello,
how you guys in the cold winter of Europe ??
Here in Congo we have very hot weather these days.
So as my title says, i would like to open a debate about water circulation !!!
If i have decide to open this thread it's because there are a lot of topic just on CO2 , or just on light, or just on fertilizer, but i have not seen a thread talking just about water flow. As Clive and other master of this forum tell us every time that water circulation is one of the key factor of a planted tank. I think it would be a good thing to have this debate.
Hope that some super moderator and other will interact in this debate !!!
The subject will be in different point:
- what kind of composition / hardscape, is favorable to a good water flow. Central composition with back front and side ways open ? Or right and left composition with the back planted with stem plant ? or just one of the side of the tank with hardscape and the other one with smaller plants ?
- outlet position ? lilly pipes throwing water from corner to corner (on the left back window to right back window and than coming to right front to left front) ? Or spraybar with the flow coming from the back to the front. ETC ....
-Related to the different choice of outlet position, how will you position you coralia or other circulation pump. On top of the water pointing to the substrate ? Or in the middle of height of the tank pointing horizontally ETC...
So debate is open now hope that it will alive !!!
thanks for reading and answering.
cheers
