How do I know I have enough Water Curculation?
Just wondering how do I know I have enough Water Curculation in my
planted tank? I have a 55USGal (48"X12"X24"), with 2213 Filter. My filter inlet is at the left side of my tank and I have my spray bar on the right top (1/2" below water surface). This spray bar pushes water 45 degree down. BTW is this the correct way of setting inlet and spray bar? Thanks and Regards Dominic (At Work) |

How do I know I have enough Water Curculation?
Just wondering how do I know I have enough Water Curculation in my
planted tank? Watch your tank in the morning. If the fish are all near the top of the tank, you need more circulation. Also, if mulm is accumulating on the leaves of fine-leaved plants, you may want to increase the circulation in your tank. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |

How do I know I have enough Water Curculation?
hi
Also, if mulm is accumulating on the leaves of fine-leaved plants, you may want to increase the circulation in your tank. how do you do this without "bending" the stem plants? I found that my Aquaclear 201 water cascading bends most of my plants flat (Ozelots) or sideways (all stem plants).. and when I moved the plant aside abit so it won't be in directly line of the water flow, it's accumulating goo.. can't seem to find a happy medium.. (so I just shake the plants.. but they just immediately act as a filter and re-garnish themselves in a matter of minutes) linda |

(so I just shake the plants.. but they just immediately act as a filter and re-garnish themselves in a matter of minutes) I use a powerhead, aimed diagonally across the tank. It's kind of hard to control circulation with an Aquaclear. Have you tried vacuuming the plants when you do your weekly water changes? I don't usually have problems with mulm on the leaves as long as the plants are growing well. And I have an Aquaclear 300 on one of my tanks, and it doesn't squash my plants flat. Maybe your water level isn't high enough? Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |
