The best way to increase oxygen is to increase the surface area of the aquarium. Increase Surface agitation or water movement on the surface. This allows more oxygen to dissolve and more carbon dioxide to escape.
@@cookiesfishroom flow ther is flow from sponges or my plants wouldnt move... Its all common science and sense. Bubbles do not stay in the water column long enough to mix they mix at the surface.
@@cookiesfishroom sponge filter will do it and if you have a coop one it can have a stone in it and as long as those bubbles pop at the top you get gas exchange. I did lots of research on it. Almost all your oxygen is absorbed at the surface not the bottom.
You might want to research some more, the co op one in the video don’t sit flat on the substrate, in fact none do. Look at which gases are trapped in substrate, how much they weigh, how they move and what’s needed to move them. Just being Aquarium co op doesn’t mean it is perfect. It’s plenty of science and not just common sense. I’m sure plenty of fish keepers couldn’t name 3 noxious gases, let alone ppl who sell sponge filters. If you place a big enough sponge filter in a small enough tank, of course it’ll move plants, that’s where common sense needs to be applied.
@@cookiesfishroom by what you are saying is I should stir up my substrate with under gravel flow cause. A airstone will not do that just sitting in one spit lol all the major work is the surface agitation and flow.. Look it up I have. Do some experiments if need be but a airstone on your substrate is no differnet then the sponges with a stone...
I bet if you set up a empty tank with a sponge and put a red dye in one corner it mixes in the flow. Proving there is flow... Surface agitation is whays needed.. Bubbles dont just sit around on substrate all the time... Those gasses rise
Ok, get yourself the three main noxious gases trapped in an inch of sand, empty tank at least 2 feet, do your dye test and film it for us. Let me know how you go with showing how the three gases are removed and how you track them. Feel free to share the video in the Facebook group, we all look forward to it.
@@cookiesfishroom literally what you are saying is to disturb all your substrate lol thats so not something you do with 2 to 3 inches of sand lol i kniw for a fact
And that’s exactly the point, with a proper airstone positioned correctly, there is no need to disturb the substrate. If you know the way gases work, weight, in water and how they travel (science not common sense) you would understand. Again try your experiment with the dye etc, good luck with adding the three gases into the water column. Different to dye alone.
Thanks Norm!
No worries 😌
Ha Ha. Get stoned with Norm.
😂😂😂 I see what you did there
I come for the quality content, stay for Norm's face!
😂😂🥰

And how does the carbon dioxide and other noxious gases get from the bottom to the top?

@@cookiesfishroom lol a airstone wont help that any more lol if so how??? Cause sponge has just as much flow.

1. Where did you pull 3 inches from?
2. No I didn’t say that, reread what I wrote, and watch it again.
3. Looking forward to your video
