Thanks folk

Hi All,

Reading your e-mails on airstones causing to many bubbles and the fact that
someone said to remember that not all fish are used to turbulent waters,
I have set my local store into action to get me the mentioned valves to
reduce airstone output on this advice

I thought that the power was a bit too much in the small 10 gal tank with a
6"Airstone. The big tank (56 gals) has a double pump with 2 x 16" Airstones
for effect. I suppose one has to remember that effect is only good as far as
the fish are happy and safe?? I just switch them off at certain times of the
day now, but some of the fish seem to like the bubbles

I did try to reduce my filter power a bit but I started to get hazy water
and that worried me. I am just your beginner too but I am dead serious about
the care of my "brood"

What does more harm - Strong filters or Airstones?

If I cut the filters current down (I use two filters - Fluval 2 & 3) What is
the worst scenario?

Or should I cut the airstones down in power as I said I was going to?

All comments welcome - PLEASE:-) I would appreciate some feedback

Regards to all
Angela
