Hello everyone,
I wondered if some of you might be able to help a newbe out here.
I have a 180 litre corner tank, which is almost 700mm deep. I am running an external filter (Eheim 2075) with a inline atomizer from eBay. I am using the eheim spray bar mounted at the top left of the tank wall so that there is a little surface ripple from it. I am also running a Koralia 1600 mounted on the same wall as the spray bar but about 8” from the bottom, slightly pointing down to my planted grass.
I have suffered some algae on the grass, this was taken out and some more re-planted. I would like to know if I seem to have the right configuration as regards setup and placement of my equipment. Another concern is that when my co2 is on and I watch the fine mist coming out of the spray bar it’s just firing across the tank, with only a little bit of CO2 travelling down to the planted grass area. I am worried that if I angle the spray bar to fire the flow and CO2 down more into the tank, fish will suffer? My CO2 is running at about 1 bubble a second and my drop checker is green to lime green at times. I am running 3 x T5 lights (24w each)
Any advice would be greatly accepted as I have played about with moving the Koralia to different locations, but still not getting fantastic results
