I guess there is no silver bullet but wondering how others balance flow and floaters. I have Sterbai Cory and Rainbowfish who like higher oxygenation levels but the Frogbit doesn't like the increased surface agitation to achieve this...
Since rejigging things a little last week the flow from my filter has gone up a bit and now I have my frogbit being crunched up at one end of the tank.
My spray bar is along the short length of the tank and I have a flow pump at the bottom on the far end. I am wondering about pointing the spray bar under the water and using air stones for surface agitation. I am trying to get a little more flow around the plants in the opposite corner to the flow pump (under the spray bar) as the stems I have there have been struggling.
Tank is low tech so I am not worried about CO2 gassing off.
How are others managing this balancing act?
