Alright, I hooked up my pump (rena air 50) into limewood. I plan on buying a stone to replace it because I'm having a problem:
It's creating a white film on the top of the water... at first I hoped to turn town the air pressure, but a control knob is only available on bigger pumps. The bubbles produced by the lime wood create quite a current for the 5 gallon tank and I had to shut it off.
I DO plan on swapping my current tank for a 20 gallon I attempted to grow Daphnia in, butttt I'm waiting for a few more supplies to be delivered (2 more newts, a bunch of gravel, my stone).
My question is: Is the pump just too powerful, or is it the microbubbles of the lime wood?
