Hi All,
Very new to this, so sorry if it's a dumb newbie question , but;
I have read on varied threads about circulation to distribute ferts etc and they seem to suggest x 10
But, I also note, lots of surface aggitiation de-gasses C02, so I'm looking for calrification please;
As I come from the Discus side of things, my tank circulates (turns-over) the total volume, through the filters' approx 3 to 5 time per hour (dependant upon filter-foams/cleaning etc), constantly taking water from the bottom and distributing it across the surface.
When refering to circulation (planted tank) are we talking water-out, and back into tank, or is it just 'stirring' the water around 10 times an hour? minimising surface exchange??
Cheers, Mick B
