syaeger Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Is it OK for my powerhead to spray out fine bubbles? Does it aireate the water and provide extra O2? Or is it better not to have bubbles?

onthefly Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Are you talking about the "venturi" feature (that piece of air tubing hooked up to the PH)? I'd say you don't want it.......the bubbles can #### off your corals (so I've read) and they will start to collect under ledges and stuff. The added O2 levels are minimal compared to the amount of O2 you get from disrupting the surface. Link to comment
