Aquarium Advice FINatic
The tanks are small so maybe it wont influence as much as in bigger ones, but it wont hurt to take all the appropiate measures.
Anyone know if this would be necesary? Any ideas on how to install it given my current setup.
No, a water pump to circulate the water from the vertical to the horizontal tank to prevent stagnation. For a tank this size an air pump is not necesary, as I explained before once the water level goes up it stays there. I do it by sucking the air out with a plastic tube attached to a floating device. So as the air is sucked out (by my lungs) the water rises and the floation device allows the tip of the tube to be at the surface. So the issue is the neec for a water pump to circulate the water between both segments.
But where to install it? Inside the vertical tank? I was thinking of something like a small water drop outsidethe tank but Im still trying to think how to male it work. But yes the powerhead would be the easiest.
Yes thats among the lines of what I initially though. Maybe i'll do that provisionally and later on add something more fancy looking. What kind of tank do you have?
