Hi all,
I’m currently in the process of setting up a new tank, specifically the Oase Styleline 125. I’ve only had nano tanks previously so some of this is new to me.
I’m planning to use an external filter for the first time (Biomaster Thermo 250) and run inline CO2. However, I’m struggling a bit on how to best position the outlet lily pipe.
As the Styleline isn’t a rimless tank and I’d ideally like to keep on the glass panels that form the lid, I’m a bit limited on where I can position the lily pipe. If I utilise the cutout section in the top left, then the pipe sits quite low down in the tank and I’m not sure if this will be close enough to the surface to create enough agitation. Also, the pipe would be facing the front of the tank rather than the opposite side, which isn’t a configuration I’ve seen anyone else do before. If I mount it to the side, I can’t properly put the glass panels back on the top. If it comes to it I could leave them off, but I’d rather not.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be the best way to position this, or any recommendations on any other type of outlet I could use instead? I’m not opposed to using the stock outlet pipe that comes with the Biomaster 250 but as I’m running inline CO2 I’m not sure if this would just push all of the CO2 bubbles towards the surface and not disperse them around the tank properly.
Thank you!
