Tom,

Good information, thanks. I have a 5' wide tank with two canister outputs on either end, current runs into the middle. I'm running a ceramic diffuser below one of them, but am not getting great dispersion of the micro-bubbles. They seem to stay at one end of the tank . Do you think I should split my CO2 line and run a diffuser in each end? Do you do this in any of your tanks?

FYI, I only get a minimal amount of pearling. I'm running a 48" PC light with 260W over the 85G tank (which is actually 60" long).

Thanks,

Jim
