Air Flow Tube Thingy

scrap the c02 then!, thanks anyway truck, ill go with plants that need no c02

your looking at plants that need 1 WPG or less, such as vallis anuibas etc

ok, thanks guys, i havnt decided against the cube tank, thats why im spending money on my 54 litre

instead of a new tank id invest in better lighting and a CO2 system, even if you can hide it behind the tank

I am confused Co2 , O2 , H2O what the hell we talking about ?

my response to the post was under the impression the Question was about a O2 air curtain

I quote "i want to add an air wall thingy to my aquarium, like an tube with holes i suppose that wil constantly be pushing air through"

Just trying to help Blimey ?

i want to add an air wall thingy to my aquarium, like an tube with holes i suppose that wil constantly be pushing air through, i was wondering if it is as simple as i think, i think that it would be a case of just buying the air pump, fixing a air line down into the tank, then getting the air wall thing, is this the case, is there any disadvantages of having the air wall thing
its on this site:

I have one of those ones and they are very nice, (I think), it creates very fine bubbles producing more of a 'fizz' than the bubbles from a traditional bubblewall. Theres a photo of mine in action, (compared to the one I used to have), in the last post of page 4 of my cycling diary (link in sig).

yes we were on about O2 but adandrews thought that an air pump would increase the amounts of CO2 in the water, but it wouldnt because air is made up of:
20%oxygen 1%argon 0.3%CO2 and 78.7% of nitrogen.

and surface agitation lets Co2 gas off.

to clear up the confusion, i was talking about 02 instead of c02, i just got a little confused with my other thread about plants, i know that an air pump will add no c02, im not thick

 

[Truck]

good, just checking.

 

[onebto]

Ah that is better everything is back to normal

 

[Rooster]

Pedant alert ! lol

78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide not to mention a load of other "stuff" too.... so, to cut a long story short... air pumps add NOTHING to the water at all, there use is for looks only, unless they power filters.

I used these for years. If you have a deep tank, make sure you buy a powerful air pump. The deeper you go, the more pressure there is for the pump to superceed.
