bubbles from canister rainbar

[gonefishing]

2 kasi canister filter ko ngayon yun rainbar sobrang daming bubbles na maliliit nilalabas ok lang ba ito for aro? ska parang malaks ang current sa loob

[gonefishing]

nakalagay naman sa taas yun rainbar, sa surface ng water...kasi parang nabasa ko dati sa FH parng pangit maraming bubbles sa loob ng tank, kaya parang apprehensive ako sa aro..

divert mo papuntang OHF kung meron ka for additional mechanical filtration. yan ginawa ko. IMHO, wala naman problema kung maraming bubbles, mas maigi pa nga yan kasi mas mataas ang surface area na aerated for oxygenation purposes. kung ayaw mo makita yung bubbles, submerge mo yung isang rainbar mo. may nabasa din ako dati about water currents on the tank for aro, actually they say na mas mainam daw ito for your aro para may "exercise" sila ng konti, adding to the appetite of your fish. as long as hindi naman parang tsunami or washing machine sa loob ng tank, i think ok lang yung current mo. personally, may resun powerhead rated at 2k L/Hour ako sa loob ng tank specifically to make currents.

hinde ba problema sa water yun? kasi pag on ng lights doon mo makikita yun maliliiit na bubbles, parang madumi tuloy yun tubig...pero I"m sure galing sa bagsak ng tubig mula sa rainbar...ok lang ba yun?

[akuma]

ok lang yun bro, sakin di ko na ginamit yun rainbar & naka submerge na sa tubig, also using powerhead for the current.

rainbar is perfectly ok in a sense that it creater surface water movement. this is healthy for any fish. the only thing that some people complain is that there so much bubbles that the tank doesnt look that clear.

its all up to the persons preferences if they wish to have the rainbar effect. i removed all of mine and used a diffuser instead. same effect din as well. ;)

on this link you will see the diffuser, and on the main pic up you will see the rainbar effect.

@akuma, Try to check your canister baka may excess air pa sa compartment or sa mga hose. ... Ako inalog ko yung canister mismo to make sure walang excess air sa loob or position your rain bar just right below the surface..Might help. :)

so anong ginagawa ng diffuser? meron pa rin watr surface movement? mawawala lang yun mga bubbles?

same effect as rainbar as i mentioned above.

[gonefishing]

same effect as rainbar as i mentioned above.

I'm still confused??? spyke, if it just the same as rainbar? then why did you or why should I replace my existing rainbar??? thanks

did i mention to you to replace your rainbar??? i am just merely stating what i am using. i prefer the water pressure of the diffuser to create strong water movement in certain area of the tank .

as mentioned sa mga naunang posts, pede mo naman i totally submerge ang rain bar mo para walang air bubbles na lalabas. actually, mas gusto ko ang maraming bubbles, making sure na my aros are having enough to breathe on.

sa case ko naman, yung pagbagsak ng tubig galing sa OHF ang nag-cause ng bubbles sa tank ko. ngayon, nagdagdag pa ako ng undergravel filter at may naka install pa na airpump para mag circulate/vacuum ng tubig from the undergravel filter system.

no! you did not? so? I'm just asking if I want to, what is the advantage of replacing it? if it serve the same purpose then, why repalce it in the first place??? whats wrong with my question?

to reiterate what i posted, its all up to the persons preference and same effect as well. air diffusers have air adjustment, like the ones used by powerheads.

or else just remove the rainbar. that will solve all of this.

the advantage i see is with the diffuser, you can direct the outflow (and current) at a much concentrated area of your tank.
