Hi!
I am working on a nano planted tank (my journal for background), and in order to keep as much CO2 in the water, without injection, I have a low flow pump (45-96 gph) without surface agitation.
But now I'm worried about oxygen, and circulating "stagnant" water. It just feels like I should be agitating the water to add, I don't know, life to the water?
Is this the thinking of a human that uses lungs to breathe in air?
Once I flooded my dry started tank, the first night I saw plenty of O2 bubbles from my Monte Carlo, since they had been breathing so well. Now that they are underwater, and without CO2 injection, that has stopped. I worry that if I add any livestock in the coming weeks, there will be insufficient O2 in the water.
