Hi All!
I'm currently running a 250 L/h internal filter in my 7g tank with a sprinkler arm aimed perpendicular to the water to encourage airation. I've previously had the sprinkler pointed directly at the water surface and believe this doesn't provide enough airation considering the fact I have no air stones in the tank at the moment, so chose to aim it up a bit.
I'm quite sure my O2 levels would be nearing saturation as I can observe air bubbles about the size of half a grain of sand throughout my tank driven by the sprinkler fitting.
My question is:
I know bubbles this size are bad for daphnia as they can become lodged in the carapace and cause death. But are they 'overdoing' it for my Kribensis? Does this kind of airation harm my fish? I.E is it making the water to hard to breathe?
Cheers all,
Jim.
