Filter Help Aeriator?

[welshfish]

Hi,

I have a 35l tank in my bedroom with a fluval 2 plus filter in it with the aerator attachment that causes it to blow bubbles out aswell.

The constant bubbles is starting to give me headaches

If i removed the air adapter would the tank get enough oxygen if i just had no bubble but still having the pump aimed towards the surface so there is still alot of surface ripples etc?


any help would be gratefully received

Buy an air pump if you can afford one. Some makes are very quiet. Then you could remove the bubble facilty on the filter.

That would be fine. Bubbles are mostly about aesthetics, not increased oxygen. Surface area first and surface movement second are by far the largest factors in oxygen exchange in a tank.

yes, does it not have a control valve?
just make sure the waters suface is broken up by the filter flow, my tanks do not have bubble walls
