nice setup.
different ppl will have different ways of doing things. as long as you can maintain the water quality, anything goes. of course the effort level will be different. AFAIK, OHF tends to have higher current. if you really want, try to diffuse the return water. |

you should not just depend on a OHF outlet for aeration. I would suggest getting another Air-pump , in the event your OHF fail, you would still have an air-stone to aerate your water

n 1 more thing bro... pebbles have lesser capacity of bacteria while gravels have more... (more gravel= more space to cultivate bacteria)

haha, then "no problem" is a very subjective term then.... u gotta check your water parameter to be sure you are changing enough.
hope u know the inherent problems of using gravel. |

dun think there's enough aeration just from the OHF.
seriously ask you to remove the gravels. yes....BB will more or less thrive in gravel...BUT so do other harmful bacteria.... if you wanna keep your gravels, you have to be extra diligent in water change.... and 25-30% change is definately no enough....unless you feed your fish teeny weeny bits of food once a day, which i doubt so......heehehehe... |
