Hi all,
been playing on and off over the years with a 46g bowfront tank and not really had any success in getting good plant growth so decided to give it another go before swapping over to a traditional chiclid tank:icon_mad:
so i have set up a small disc diffuser at the bottom of the tank but the majority of bubbles get to the surface before they have disolved or reduced significantly in size so i have positioned the diffuser below the filter intake ( eheim 2026), now I am often getting and hearing bubbles in the system but i dont think this is norm as shouldnt the CO2 disolve when in the filter???? - i am running about 3-4 bubbles per second ( but that is relative to the size of the counter of course)
i don get any bubbles out of the spray bar but i hear a large amount of air/gas every 30 - 40 mins in the filter.
I did have a reactor but it was crap hence the swap to a diffuser.
thanks in advance for any replies!
