Air Stone

Hi

Does it matter about putting your air stones near to your heater or filter?

Cheers

Best in the middle of the tank.

i put my bubbles under the heater so it pushes heat und qucker, also have filter at the side and the heater sideways in the middle with the air stone near/ under it.

Its more to do with the lighting so the spray of water dosn't get in the end tubes of the lights.

Airlines near the heater can distribute heated water from around the heater, or if the air bubbled through the airstone is colder than the water it can cause the heater to heat longer than it should as it's thermostat tells it it is colder than the surrounding water.

Depends on the type of filter, but an airstone causes an updraft/swell, so can act to draw dirt towards or from a filter inlet.

Probably best to place the airstone in areas that tend to have 'deadspots'.

Cool. Thanks.

It's ok having it with a sand substrate isn't it? Just your comment about drawing dirt to it which made me think.

I think i'm just being paranoid.

Andy.
