Could somebody please advise me on the following.
The Aqua one tank came complete with the Aquaone 101 filter. This is non adjustable heightwise as it fits in the back compartment and the outlet goes through a ready prepared hole.
This means that the moving water is around 1+ deep in the tank.
The water does move (a plant leaf will eventually travel around the surface) but to my mind it isn't very fast.
Today I attached a 1" piece of garden irrigation hose to the outlet and then put an "L" shape adaptor on it which brought the water to the surface, like a little waterfall.
It was, in fact, a little fierce as it was hitting the glass cover so I have turned it slightly to the right.
I've lost the waterfall effect but the flow is still quite prominent.
It makes a lovely moving water effect on the plants but isn't any noisier. I also have an airstone which is popping bubbles again the glass
Now, am I over complicating my life?
I'm trying to get as much surface water movement in this little tank as I understand it improves oxygen??
Have I really achieved this. Am I risking stressing the pump?
Should I just go back to the way it was.
I'm not sure I've explained myself very well.
PS. As soon as I have fish to sit and watch I'm hoping I will be too busy to keep bothering you all.
Excitement of a new hobby and all that
Am I talking rubbish because I've misread something and was just anxious to be inventing something !!
Thanks for reading
