Hi
Ive got a question thats been bugging me for a while now. Ive got a planted tank and recently introduced some fish and notice that it is suffocating from a lack of oxygen. CO2 diffuser is in place but was advice that surface agitation will release CO2 within the water at the same time surface agitation is needed to increase the oxygen for the fishes.
My current air pump has only an no/off option so i thought ill head out to get an Eheim air pump 100 since it comes with an adjustment but still didnt make much of a different as it makes too much bubble and noise. There goes $75AUD.
So i thought my best option at the moment is to increase the water flow from the Fluval 205 to get a little surface movement going to possibly increase the oxygen in the water.
Does anyone have any other solution that maybe i could try to increase the oxygen at the same time minimise the noise of the bubble and maintain as mush as possible the amount of CO2 in water?
Tank size: 1 and a foot - 10G
Light: 2 x 24w HO
Thanks in advance
