Hi everyone,
I have a disc shaped airstone with pump, a lot of people leave it on 24/7 that I talk to it’s ok or set times on a timer? I have a 55 litre tank with otocinclus family, amano shrimps, ember tetras & Black neon tetras? Please could you give me a helping hand with my question?

You can just run it at night if the internal filter (back left-hand side?) works?

When the lights are on the plants will be photosynthesising and generating oxygen. I'd be tempted to get some more fast growing plants until the Amazon Swords (Echinodorus bleheri) start growing. A floater would be best, Pets@Home are selling Salvinia auriculata, or I can send you a mix.

cheers Darrel

Azolla caroliniana, Lemna minor, Lemna minuta, Limnobium laevigatum, Pistia stratiotes, Salvinia auriculata & Utricularia gibba. I also have plenty of Ceratophyllum demersum (a sub-surface floater) and probably some Lemna trisulca, Ceratopteris thalictroides & Riccia fluitans (all really sub-surface as well).

cheers Darrel
