Heaters And Bubbles...

[Olliethemutt]

I was just wondering, I put my two heaters in the back corners along with airstones at the bottom. I was just wondering if the bubbles would affect the heater and I need to move the heater. It hasn't seemed to affect the overall temperature of the tank, I was just curious!


I have NO fish in the tank so its not that big of a deal, filter broke so I am waiting for the new one to start my cycle.

I'd move it to be on the safe side. It probably won't affect it unless it is truly being surrounded by bubbles, but like I said I'd move it to make me feel better.

I've purposely put my heater over the flow or bubbles from an airstone so that it has a flow of water over it, heating the tank more efficiently .

is it good to use aeration bubbler with a saltwater tank?? i've never seen that before lol.

Why are you using an airstone

 

[kj23502]

Well his filter broke so maybe it's to circulate the water guessing

 

[omega59]

aahhh good point lol.

i think it should be ok but probably will not make any difference. the water needs a flow to prevent deadspots occuring on your LR. dead spots on your LR is not good. bubbles will just ripple the surface of the water. i would go and buy your filter as soon as possable
hope this helps
