Beautiful tank. How many gallons is that and how many Ember Tetras do you have in there? And you're lucky that your Betta is peaceful. I have one Betta and he chases the Harlequin Rasboras non-stop. So much so that he's going into his own tank as soon as the water stabilizes.

@TankedUpLife-te5uy5 ай бұрын
@@markfranklin8831 Yes in my previous 28 gallon I had a wave maker placed above the CO2 diffuser. It would further scatter the CO2 across the tank to help it dissolve into the water. Plants like the additional water flow as well. But I used a very weak wave maker. Too much current causes too much havoc with the fish and isn't really needed. This is the one I purchased. a.co/d/8D2MtqL It has a nice gentle flow and magnet mount so it will never fall down like ones that use suction cups.
