Air Circulation for planted tank?

[stormydax]

Hi ,

saw some LFS with strong air circulation in their planted tank...however, heard that having strong air circulation dilute the CO2 ? is it true?

will having a strong internal pump to boost circulation be good for plants?

thank you

yours sincerely,

air circulation or water circulation?

[stormydax]

water circulation

[Shadow]

In planted tank you need adequate water flow to carry all the nutrient and CO2 to the plants

oic...so its okay to have a additional internal filter to create the water circulation? I ssee that the LFS at Boonkeng (selling a lot of mosses) has strong water current in their tank

y is it so?

[Shadow]

yes it is ok as long as it does not look like washing machine

anyway how big is your tank and how many l/h you intent to put?

^^ now you know?

Apart from Sato Island, I am looking at Tateyama actually. So if you are looking tranquility, you will not think of washing machine tank. Ha ha...just my 2 cents.
