In this video I discuss the benefits of aeration in our planted aquariums. I talk about raising lilly pipes or using an air pump at night and how this can benefit the system as a whole.

Great deep dive on oxygen. It’s one of those topics that isn’t talked about enough. I find that in my own tanks high oxygen benefits everything

Thank you! Yeah its not talked about very often but is very important

Good explanation of the many benefits of nighttime aeration in the planted aquarium. Like you, I have an air stone on a timer that comes on when the lights go off and stops when the C02 comes on. Aeration is an under appreciated but important topic.

I think people aren't educated on it or know that it is something we should ideally be doing

Very nice clean and invisible setup! Would have loved to hear it running, is it really quiet? I've been thinking about adding air pumps to some of my tanks

@JordanStirrat 2 жыл бұрын

The air diffuser is very quiet but I would say that an air stone might work best if the goal is no surface film due to larger splashes and that is a bit louder. Its definitely something worth considering

@allstarsalmeida Жыл бұрын

I seen huge increase on my plant growth specially on my Christmas moss and Monte Carlo by adding 2 air stones on each corner of my 75 gallon aquarium. And I running from 6pm-130am and off course when co2 are off.* Best decision I ever made lol

Its interesting that it had such a positive effect on your plants! Maybe not a direct impact but there might be indirect benefits it seems 😄 Nowadays I use a skimmer in my tanks which has a similar effect

Using O2 method for years in my tanks , it is sad that not so many people use this method 💦 they think it is not important but it definitely is!

Yes I believe its very important too! I wish I started using it sooner

An air stone at night will also destroy any film on the water surface, instead of using a skimmer

Nice video.... what do you think about low-tech tanks with no Co2? Would you still add oxygen at night?

@JordanStirrat 2 жыл бұрын

There is still benifits to adding oxygen in non co2 tanks but it may not be as important. Non co2 tanks can be great if the correct equipment and plants are chosen 😊

What is that piece of glass that keeps the water from jumping out from the airstone bubbles? I am asking since I have a rimless fish tank and want to keep the bubbles from spewing water all over the place

@full_metal2452 Жыл бұрын

Jordan- Wouldn’t it be possible to just put a Y junction in the Co2 line and pump air through the AquaRio neo mixer that that have now? Or does an air pump not push enough pressure to push through co2 stone? If that is the case- could run an O2 tank reg/bubble counter.

@JordanStirrat Жыл бұрын

Yeah a co2 diffuser won't work with an air pump and the pump won't have enough pressure

What if your tank is low tech planted. Wouldn’t that deplete the little bit of naturally occurring C02 from the water?

@JordanStirrat 5 ай бұрын

Although there may be extremely small amounts of co2 in your tap water, this is depleted very quickly after your water change, so it's misconception that a non co2 closed system has levels of beneficial co2

@JordanStirrat 5 ай бұрын

That is unless, of course, there is lots of decaying material producing co2, but that can also produce harmful stuff like ammonia

No as the air diffuser is more porous. The one I use here is meant for air

@MrMarcosff_ I don't know why you would want to but if there is space you technically can. You won't get benefits such as reduce oil film etc as discussed in this video. I recommend just putting it in the tank

I think the air has a well balanced 02/CO2 mix that most living creatures on earth have adapted to. You may be overthinking those CO2/O2 balance for day or night. Just pump air😂
