So I will be ordering an Armatus for my 55g until I get my 300g And I'm in the process of setting it up, I've ordered a Hydor Koralia 750 Power Head to get here this week but I'm still not sure if it will supply enough oxygen and I didn't want to take a risk.
How Much Aeration For An Armatus?
- Thread starter PayaraMan
- Start date
Ok disregard the comment towards the powerhead, I wasn't thinking straight, this thread just started and its already off topic, My question is how much aeration do I need for an Armatus??
As much as you can get? You can't really overdo aeration with them but you can overdo your equipment, bubbles and current. If the tank is full of bubbles and the fish can barely swim straight from 10 powerheads you're overdoing it. Try to limit microbubbles as much as possible.
I have a small redtail in a 55 until it grows up a bit , I run a canister rated for 100g blowing fullblast via spraybar lengthwise as well as a pretty big bubble wand running along the back. No problems thus far, been going for about 3-4 months like this. Keep up on water changes and maint and you should have good results.

My armatus seems to do well with just the returns from my wet/dry filter and the canister filter.
Seems to be the deal in my case.
If the powerhead is positioned properly it should supply plenty.
Alright thanks everyone, My powerhead should be coming in soon and I'm going to buy a more powerful air pump along with a long bubble wand, Plus I have two Penguin 350s running so that should supply good aeration as well.
