air movement

[zungaro]

hello
i have a fish house with tanks that have air powered filtration but there is no other circulation of air in the room.was hoping to find out if maybe a fan blowing air onto water surface or the surface of the fluidised K1 filter media would make much of a difference to the oxygen saturation.

thanx

It will lower your water temp if you blow a fan onto the water, is the door open in the room? To clarify, are you worried that the air in the room does not have enough circulation, in turn lowering the oxygen in your tank or that your tanks surface does not move enough to have proper air exchange?

I would just put some aerators or sponge filters which are powered by aerators into the tanks.

heated fish house,open top tank with still air,would blowing air onto water surface via fan help to increase oxygen saturation ?
