aeration in a planted aquarium?
I just wanted to know if its wise to turn on the air pump during the night and turning it off a few mins after the aquarium lights come on. I read from a few websites that an airpump is usually not needed in a planted tank but at the same time i saw that plants take in oxygen during the night.
I have always used an airpump in my aquariums so not having it on during the day makes me feel iffy about whether or not the fishes in my tank can stand without it. Need some answers please!
my tank specs:
40gallons,
17w(generic flourescent that says to be emitting 90w of light) + 20w(powerglo) aquarium lights,
eheim canister filter,
airpump 802,
heater,
normal gravel,
a piece of driftwood.
PLANTS:
3 large amazons,
couple of stems of wisteria,
loose narrow leaf java fern (some are branching out little ones),
a small amount of java moss.
FISH:
2 discus,
2 angels,
1 cory,
1 pleco.
java moss will do the job by itself no problem once you have some decent sized clumps growing. java fern and java moss can grow under just about any condition so you can just drop them in and forget about them. the same goes with any of the anubias family of plants. all the plants you mentioned are fine with extra air if you are worried about your fish.
