Hi All, I figured out that my fish were dying due to lack of Dissolved Oxygen. So I installed 2 new Air pumps. I see that both my power filter too have a venturi air line connected which creates some bubbles in water. So what do you recommend? Which is better for aeration? An Air pump (200 litres/hour) or A powerhead with venturi pipe connected (500 litres/hour) Regards |

.. Venturi works great, and aids in getting the water moving.. BUT - I would have an air-pump ready to be activated , as power heads have a lower reliability.. I am using a Venturi-Filter device in a round "Trout" aquarium.. Lots of bubbles and the trout seem to like all the movement.. .. . |
