I turned off bubbles (for CO2), but have a canister filter...question....?

[rwilliams254]

How does the water oxygenate? I don't understand. I get it if I had a HOB...but I have a canister filter.

I was informed to turn off my bubble wall because it creates too much surface ripples.

I have 2 CO2 diffusers.

Advice? Help?

Thanks,

Put your bubbles on a timer to run at night. This is what I do and I've had no issues with my co2/o2 levels.

setup the output of your canister so that there is just a small, very slight, extremely minescule bit of movement at the surface. Like you were lightly blowing at a leaf in the water...not to sink it, but to move it 1/2 an inch. That'll be good enough.

Monitor the co2 concentration in your water and adjust as necessary.

(or do what kendrid said)

I'd rather just run the bubble wall at night when the lights are off.

diy... run the bubble wall
pressurized... get a solenoid valve or ph controller
