Mel Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Direct the outlet of your filter upwards so it creates surface movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 You could use a spray bar above the surface or just increase surface agitation or add a venturi (spelling???) to the end of your canister output as it enters the tank.

SamH Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 If you have a venturi fitting for the end of your canister filter (pretty common) then it should be easy. Somehow it draws air from above down into the water, looks just like it would if an air pump was used. Combine that with heaps of surface agitation and you'll be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 i use the spraybar pointed up to agitate the surface, its silent as appoesed to a small hum from the air pump. I have had one issue with that though, snails grow in my canister so when they get to the spraybar & they are too big to get out the spraybar holes they clog a hole. what this does is increase pressure through the others so when a few holes are blocked a jet can be created through the flowing holes & get strong enough to spray out of the water & onto the underside of the hood.

Scottie841 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 You can put a bit of air line in to the outlet pipe and have it so that it suck air in through there (no pump needed) like a lot of the internal filters have. If you use the irrigation connecters to attach the hose that have on side that is longer than the other so work well as long as the long side is the one that the water hits and the short side facing the tank.

snookie Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 flurvel 405's Is that like a Fluval 405 ? you should get enough surface agitation with them. Are your fish showing signs of not enough oxygen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Is that like a Fluval 405 ? I think it is a fluval 405 as snookie said, plenty surface agitation with that filter if you set up the nozzle correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
