Aeration

onelovie · June 23rd, 2005

Hi. I was just wondering how much aeration you all use in your tanks. I have a 55 gallon tank and use two bubble wands, each are probably 8-9 inches long. It seems like there are a lot of bubbles though, even though I have the pump turned down as low as it goes. Should I get rid of one of the wands, switch to a different type of aeration or leave it as is

Maybe I need a less powerful pump?

Thanks for your help!! Onelovie

I dont think it really matters but maybe you have too much

I have a 55 gallon, 2 bubble wands (curtains) and they cover almost the entire back of my tank. My fish LOVE playing in the bubbles

I also have my air pump turned up all the way (I don't have a controller) and noby in the tank seem to mind. I have a freshwater community-everything from Plecos to Ghost Shrimp and snails.
