HI everyone, I'm having a bit of a debate regarding the VenturI option on my Fluval F4.
Now, I don't really like the way that the tiny bubbles make the water look like there's bits floating round the tank. I'm aware that its the agitation of the surface that produces the oxygen, but I removed the venturI last night but didn't think that with out it the surface wasn't moving enough. So I got a little scared and worried and put it back! Hubby said it was fine but I'm not convinced. His view was that as you could see the current moving under the surface it was ok.
I've never used a venturI before, all my other tanks in the past have had a Fluval and a directional powerhead too and I've never ad a problem.
Id love some advice on this, I do have a wave maker, but I don't use it at the min. If I use this, would it upset the water current too much ? I bought the wave maker to help with a dead spot I have.
Thank you for any help
