    Water flow in the planted aquarium?

    Well i like the idea of a spraybar as it does not give much current in my tank. Reason for opting for a second spraybar is this; if i put the outlet of the co2 in one corner and blow it in thesame direction as my spraybar (e.g. horizontally across the length of the tank) i am afraid that my...

    Water flow in the planted aquarium?

    While thinking of adding a NW pump i was doubting how to place the outflow of that NW. If i read this entire thread correctly, i would have to place the outlet of the co2 enriched water just like the filter outlet, across the entire length of the tank, but with slightly larger holes, to prevent...

    CPR overflow on Fluval FX6

    Well i currently have surface scum; so i attached a surface extractor to my canister filter but the fluval extracts more then the surface extractor can deliver so the surface extractor is pulled down, causing more surface scum to form. I am thinking of either; 1) Adding an Eheim Skim 350...

    CPR overflow on Fluval FX6

    It is rated at 800gph and my Fluval can pump 925gph unrestricted but filter circulation is set to be 563gph; so i think my pump can handle it :) Besides it also goes through a co2 reactor which limits flow considerably.. I'll think i'll just test it first before i re-rig my tank :)

    From 2178 to Fluval FX6 - need advice

    Hey there, Currently thinking about replacing my 2178 (with heater that i don't use due to my T5 HO lamps). Reasons i want it replaced: - i don't use the heater - flow is to little - air builds up every 10 minutes, i think due to the fact that my AM1000 reactor is at the same height as my...
