Hey guys,
I have a Roma 90 (~90L) with a Eheim Experience 150 external filer (~500l/h) which has been fine while running the tank as a low tech but I have just done a bit of a rescape and while none of the plants are particularly demanding, I would like to see them at there best so will be adding CO2.
I currently use the spray bar on the back wall in the center pointing slightly down at the front glass, the entry points for the Roma are not great so it's really my only option. I will be using an inline diffuser but with the low flowrate I'm worried about distribution.
Ideally a new filter would be the option but I can't afford that right now so am looking at other options to increase my flow a little using powerheads/submersible pumps.
My problem is I'm not sure where would be best to position this extra flow or how much you thing I would need? I was thinking two small powerheads (~200l/h each?) , one at either end of the spraybar pointing with the spraybar flow might be good? Or maybe one big one above and in the middle of the spraybar, again pointing with the same flow direction.
What do you think? Also any recommendations on the actually hardware greatly recieved!
