Flow in deep tanks, share your secrets! The biggest challenge I've found in keeping healthy planted tanks is the proper adjustment of water flow and CO2. There seems to be a thousand variables, mist vs. reactor, spray bar vs. lily pipe, level of surface disruption, etc...
The deeper the tank front to back, the more difficult it becomes to get water flow to all the plants, without completely blowing them away in other areas.
I've tried numerous methods myself, split returns, misting, multiple pumps, and it seems I can never dial it in quite right. Once the tank fills in to a certain point, plant health starts declining.
So, how does ever one else set up their CO2/filtration system in a tank 18+ inches deep? Let's hear about your systems! I want pictures too |
