Aquarium Advice Regular
I asked this question on another forum but figured this might be a better place to ask.
i have a question about my setup.
currently I am running an eheim 2217 and an AC110 filter on my 55, as well as a small powerhead near the top that has the hose attached, which creates bubbles (adjustable, set very low now)
I am going to replace my AC110 with another 2217, simply because I want silence in my family room, where the tank resides.
I have my spraybar for the 2217 pointing at the back of the tank, facing towards the bottom, and my fish LOVE playing in the current. if I do the same with the other, I would have very little surface agitation.
My question is, will the powerhead be enough? is it surface agitation I am after or are the bubbles that are introduced via the powerhead enough to invoke the O2 exchange I need? I can point the 2nd spraybar up for surface agitiation if I must, but I was just curious...
FYI its a 55g tank with 20 demasoni, 6 yellow labs, and a few pleco's - so the bioload is not low.
