Stop bubble wall in planted tank?

[Levine]

Im planning on letting java moss cover most of my gravel, getting a nice piece of bogwood and hopefully putting some java fern on it. Will I need to stop my bubble wall?


Im guessing you dont clean gravel if moss is planted all over the bottom of the tank lol.

If the bubble wall does not provide too much water movement, you don't need to remove it. However, you won't really need it because the plants will give off O2 through photosynthesis.

You can still vacuum the gravel if there is java moss covering it- just position the siphon an inch or so from the gravel so it doesn't distrub the java moss but can still pick up debris.

Half of my community tank is now planted, I'd not say real heavy planted, however it does interfere with cleaning that side of the tank. My gravel is getting a little green and its hard to get to the glass.

So to help counter this I'm letting the snails breed plus I'm going to get a plec and a couple of ghost shrimp or something.
