Hi Guys,
I've got an observation which has me curious.
I moved my drop checker to the other side of the tank the other day as its easier to read.
I have 2 filters. 1 eheim internal and the built in juwel filter running. The internal is fitted to the right side of the tank blowing directly out the hole to the left side. The eheim spraybar is on the left of the tank blowing from left to diagonally down/right. I thought my flow was pretty good as you can see plants on the bottom of the tank moving.
I originally had the drop checker on the right of the tank which showed a pretty bright green. I then moved it to the left under the spraybar and have a pretty dark green now.
So how come, even though my flow appears to be pretty good, is this small area of the tank not having as much co2 in it?. Could it be that small co2 bubbles which come out my filter outlet (using an aquamas inline reactor) are going into the drop checker thus increasing the concentration of co2 in the drop checker (based on the fact that a pure co2 bubble will be more gas than whats dispersed out the water) or do i really have bad flow?
