Squidlet Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Hi everyoneI have a new blueplanet 54L tank setup as shown in attached photo that houses 3 corydoras and one growing angelfish. It has an internal filtration unit, 450l/hour, that is an overhead unit. There is also a bubblewall at the very back that goes all the way to other side that runs all day. The problem I think I am having is inadequate water flow to my filter as there is always particles(some quite big) floating around the tank that really destroys the look. I think there could be two reasons for this. First, the pressure from the bubble wall is constantly pushing water up and is behind the filter intake so water doesn't enter the filter as easily? The second reason I'm concerned about is the rocks interfere with water flow around the tank?Any thoughts and advice on this? I want to shift some bits around and would consider putting in a smaller bubble ball off to the side.Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 A quick and easy first test, before moving rock work, would be to turn off the bubble wall and see if that gets rid of the particles. gligor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I've never had my tank completely free of particles. Even with big freshly cleaned filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
