the problem
getting good even flow/distribution . starting to get hair algae creeping back in . blyxa seems to be suffering/melting . im trying different configurations and i seem to be ending up with plants blasted all over the place some areas , little to no movement in others . or fairly good flow in most areas with a big dead spot . struggling to get good configuration . pumping in really high amounts of co2 , bubble counter showing very fast bubble rate , must be easily 3 or 4 bps .
equipment at my disposal
eheim 2213 ( co2 via up inline atomiser) , new wave 1.6 circulation pump , and newjet 400lph powerhead .
i have just changed it to spraybar central on the rear wall flowing toward front wall , 400 lph powerhead to the left , on rear wall flowing directly forward to front wall . new wave 1.6 on right hand side aimed at front wall , slightly toward the right .
did think about making a full length spray bar for rear wall , but not sure if the 2213 is strong/powerful enough . ideally id like to crack it without shelling out even more money if possible .
