Small Bubble or Big Bubble?

[Crazylogix]

I want you opinion on Bubble size!

I bought Bubble wall straw and place both of them in the back of the tank under the gravel. So its doing big nice bubble. But they are very noisy.

So! what do you think about that!

Big bubble :
- Good looking! and no blue straw is visible.
- Noisy / can it stress fish?
- go faster to the top / Less oxygen in the tank? (I have a big population + Real plants)

Small curtain bubble ?
- look bad, blue straw is visible ...
- Quiet
- Smaller so more oxygen into the water ?

I will post a picture of my tank for now ther is one of my GT :

I prefer large bubbles, but small air curtains offer better oxygen transfer me thinks. As for the sound? My large buble maker doesn't seem to bother the fish.

Howdy,

That's personal preference. Fish and people get used to the "white noise".

idont think the niose from the bubbles will bother them. and actually IMO adding more co2 to the water will raise the o2 because the live plants will produce more o2 by proccesing the co2 and they will be much healthier.

How do you like the O2?
Do it add better looking?
Or its necessarily?

I heard that you should close the system during de night?
