water surface agitation question

[abudakos]

Hi all, I have a silly question about water surface agitation.
I recently replaced my internal power filter with an external canister filter.
The spraying bar has been placed horizontally on the top left side of the back glass a few centimetres below the water surface.
Ok, not the whole surface of the water is being agitated but only 80% of it. The 20% of it is on the right side. The width of the aquarium is 80cm. Do you think there is going to be problems with oxygen?

As a side note, I have some live plants but I don't think they are enough to take care of oxygen production in the water.

Please help.

do you have fluval by any chance ?
if so i think you should placethe water spray bar out side the water so when spraying back in it creates alot of bubbles when braking the surface at night its annoying but you can pust the bar under the surface untill morning

Or just have it on a timer!

Absolutely not!!!!!

By switching the canister off, you will deprive the beneficial bacteria of nutrient and O2, they will more than likely die, and you tank will revert to an uncycled state.

Having the spray bar above or below the water makes very little difference, the surface agitation is pretty much the same.

I agree with LL, however what's wrong with the good ole' airstones

I favour a natural look in tanks. A column of rising bubbles just doesn't look right to me, however, I agree they acheive the same result.

Not if you stock sensibly.
