    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  Před 2 lety

      Power filters are designed to run 24/7. And if you use a small power filter (along with your main filter) for the purpose of CO2 diffusion, the small power filter should run as long as the lights are ON (i.e. 8 hrs. - 10 hrs.)

    Thank you for the video .just another question according to your experience. I use sponge filter and lots of water agitation on the surface so does the CO2 goes out of aquariım more faster ?

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  Před 5 měsíci

      Yes, that's right. When the lights and CO2 are on, you can decrease the airflow of the sponge filter to reduce surface agitation, and at night or when the lights are off, you can increase the airflow again. Thanks.

    The third method i.e. power filter worked for me. I already had a small air pipe attached to my filter, so I didn't need to punch any holes. I simply connected my co2 system with the air hose provided. Although this way the bubbles are very slightly bigger, but definitely works. Thanks

      Yeah KM can we not connect the CO2 line to the air line in the power filter ? Like Swapnil has done ? So no drilling is required and does this give the same effect as with one where the hole is drilled and the L connector attached ?
      Sorry for such noob questions !

      ​​@@rajeevpandalai5248Connecting to the built in air line is not as effective as KM's method, as the bubbles produced will be much larger. Smaller bubbles result in much higher CO2 diffusion.

    Hello sir, thank you for this informative vido. However, I have a doubt regarding the power filter on top of the nozzle we have air inlet option. Can we connect the co2 pipe through that instead of drilling a small hole? (Do you think it will suck in the water from the second bottle will it have that much power?)

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  Před 2 lety +2

Will it be useless or worth it ? Thanks love your vids

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  Před 23 dny +1

      Placing it near the hang-on-back filter inlet is a good idea, but the CO2 escaping at the surface might affect its efficiency. Keep testing and see what works best for your setup!

    Does the high speed of water gushing out of the internal filter not hamper the plants or fishes ?
    And which how much watt internal fillter can i use for this purpose ?

      Here, a small internal power filter needs to be used, so there will be no problem. Please see the video description for the product link.

    I advise, if you could try making a diffuser using a ceramic tile cut in circular shape and glued inside a syringe to see if it is any better. Ill try it myself and will let you know.
