So, I've got a really, seriously crazy dumb idea.
My wife recently bought me a 110 gallon aquarium. And... it was drilled.
I've loving it, and am having as much or more fun debating what to put in it as I am putting stuff in it. But.... With it being drilled, I'm becoming obsessed with the idea of no ugly stuff running down from the top.
And... I'm looking at running some air into it.
I'd prefer not to have airline running down the back of the tank and ruin the clean look I have so far.
So, I'm thinking about a Inline Reactor not unlike those used to inject Co2 into planted tanks, but instead of a Co2 tank, hooking up an air pump.
In theory, I could adjust the air flow such that much of the air injected is dissolved into the water, and not even have huge bubble trails coming up from the filter outflows. Hook up a bubble counter, just to be sure I'm getting air at all, and adjust the airflow to just below where I start seeing too much bubbles.
I've done a couple of searches for anything similiar, and haven't found much. Heck, I haven't found anything.
I'm looking at specs on air pumps now- I have 5 PSI running throughout most of my filter- and am desperating trying to think of reasons why this wouldn't work. Anyone else think of some?
