Hello; I am a bit confused by your response. Please reconsider my suggestion. Power has very little to do with what I am describing. A very small air pump with weak bubbles has enough power. A small HOB is enough if it somehow disturbs the water surface. It just takes some mechanical action to break up the protein film. If you canister can be adjusted so that it disturbs the surface should work.ok I have a canister filter guess its not strong enough
