I have noticed on several pictures of tanks, and of the kind in the ADA competitions that the filters used on these tanks do not produce any bubbles when putting water back into the tank. Is this necessary?
I have a HOB filter and have (possibly incorrectly) thought that in order for enough oxygen to get into the tank, the return water from the filter must be going into the tank and creating bubbles. This of course leads to micro bubbles on the glass, and in the water column, which could also make the water a bit hazy seeming.
Is this necessary, how are the people doing tanks with no bubbles, plants and live fish?
