Hi all,
Hope someone can help me optimise the CO2 distribution through optimum water circulation.
I have two pumps of the same flow rate 650l/h Eheim BioPower 200 filter and Eheim Aquaball 650 power head. Currently they are pointing in the same direction along the tank. One attached next to the back glass and another next to the front glass. See pic attached. CO2 diffuser twinstar neo is attached to opposite side of the tank. I can see bubbles travelling from diffuser down to the substrate along the front glass and up underneath the front pump. But it seems not many bubbles going along the back glass.
I wonder if the pumps would be pointing at each other but still one along the back and other along the front glass creating circular movement at the surface (vortex) and hopefully under water too..
Would moving the diffuser under one of the pumps intake improve the diffusion and distribution even better?
what are your thoughts guys?
