For people running a high-energy setup and fish - do most of you use an airstone when the lights are off ?
If so, when and for how long ?
If so, when and for how long ?
Reason I asked the question is because, yes, my fish were showing symptoms of distress through oxygen starvation.
Turns out my new heater had the tank a little too warm (less oxygen) and the thermometer I was using turned out tyo be not too accurate.
Dropped the temperature down to where it should be and all the stress has suddenly gone.
I'm still very keen to use an airline say 8am-3pm (when my CO2 comes on) as a precaution. I think there should easily be enough oxygen in the water just after lights go off and until next morning.
Seems to be quite a wide variance on the group
