Hi guys!
Just got my first tank and it is sat in my bedroom full up but fishless!
My question is:
I have an HJ-311B multi-function fully submersible filter and pump as shown below
(I am using a small tube out the front with a nozzle on top, connecting to a long pipe sucking in air. Pushed out the end/second nozzle, not the big black thing shown connected above)
I am quite happy with the buzzing noise of the filter but the bubbles are a little loud and i would like to keep the filter running without them.
Is there anyway i can unplug the air tube which goes out of the tank, yet leave the filter running? Will this push the water around ok without the noisy air bubbles?
Also if that is not possible, can i bend/bulldog clip the air intake tube to allow much less bubbles?
It came with no instructions sadly
I would really appreciate some help as i can sleep witth the bubbles going and i hear turning it off at night kills bacteria and fish!
So in brief:
Can i unplug the air tube from the multifunction device?
Can i bend the air tube to slow down air suction and lessen noise?
Is turning off at night a terrible idea?
Help please!
Thanks
Rob
