    aeration in planted tank

    I read that lots of surface agitation during.the day isnt a good thing because youd Lose a bunch of your injected co2... But that it was beneficial to turn on airstones, etc at night because the fish and plants would appreciate the increased O2 leves Wondering if anyone follows these practices..

    hehe laziness or good idea?

    I have aquaclear 110s on my 125gal. The flow is so strong it restricted where i could plant, some plants would get pushed and blown all over the place with water fall produced by the filters... Ive been reading all these DIY ideas to dampen the flow, but honestly they look either tacky or not...
