    i just installed an additional powerhead to increase water flow and alleviate the minor algae problem ive been having....

    the question i have is that the position i currently have my powerhead in is causing a lot of bubbles on the surface...maybe im thinking about another aspect of the hobby, but i think ive heard id want to minimize this....

    while logically i think its just increasing my oxygen exchange...

    just looking for some guidance...thank you

    Hello, you're cool. The bubbles to avoid are micro bubbles. You want surface agitation.
