Aquarium and aquarium in my passion for plants, fish and aquatic world
It happens every now and then, fortunately rarely, to find on a few lesser known some indication of the Speaker of CO2 in the aquarium ... and their placement unless indicated: immediately below the entrance to the internal or external aquarium filter!
Usually we talk about how to lay out, materials, prices, their use in the aquarium to spread in the best possible carbon dioxide in water, dissolving it in fact.
And in almost all sites are also shown the correct places:
E 'instead to avoid the location below the entrance of the filter, where the filter takes the water and the door to the sponges / wool and then to the materials for biological filtration, because in the filter there are the aerobic bacteria (Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter ) and therefore they need oxygen to fully play their work ... certainly not carbon dioxide!
So much so that in densely populated aquariums and devoid of a plant, eg the ones dedicated to African cichlids or large cichlids Americans, is used to insert an oxygenator entrance of the filter.

Hello Leo, I would be interested in more detailed info on the speaker Ferplast. The topics and a little old but if you read it or even by the administrator of this blog, I would like to get in touch with you to get your opinion about it, although I assume is positive.

In my opinion, the bacteria should not be affected because the concentration of CO2 does not affect the amount of O2. Even if CO2 increases the amount of mica decreases the O2! And I do not think that more CO2 will inhibit the growth of aerobic bacteria.
Finally, we do not forget that the CO2 in water is present in a certain%, since it combines with water to form carbonic acid ...

using co2 from yeast is possibilenusare glass diffusers, which are on the market?
The problem is the pressure, to use it must be able to make a system that can withstand very well the pressure ... otherwise it will exit the weakest point, which can be for example the silicone on the cap ...
