    Howsit folks just a quick question, is it possible to have too much air in a tank. My tank just looks very 'airy'. I have my 2 powerhead filter pumping air in, 1 x ornament and then a air curtain...

    Do you have lots of plants in the tank? The bubbles will cause you to loose most of the co2 that your plants produce at nite. I'm no expert but this is what i have learnt

    Is that a good thing??? And yes I do have a planted tank...

    Another question.... My tank from a distance has a constant green tinge, is it maybe because there is too many plants? I don't have an algae problem and my water looks clear....
