Thanks for the suggestions Tom! I am curious though, after you said this:


After reading that it sounds like its the better option then? I currently use a small rena micro bubbler on the intake side of a powersweep 228 powerhead and it mists well. So maybe at least at first this would be a cheaper option, using something like a pair of rena micro bubblers paired with my two return pumps, and there will probably be some mist left over by the time it gets to the tank as well as a good amount that probably dissolves in the 5 or 6 foot long return lines.\

I have looked into that Lok line stuff, but I am unsure. For what I need I think it would be pricey... I am trying to get good current throughout the tank w/o using any additional powerheads or anything. I was thinking about using PVC painted black with krylon fusion which others have reported being able to use in thier aquariums. I could make a custom spraybar, I havent worked out the details but I could probably design something that would work well. But then again I guess the Lok line would be easier to change to perfect the flow later.

About the O2, I am not really sure, as I recal you used that on the behemoth? I do plan on it being heavily planted so there should be good levels of O2 there, but I also plan on it being heavily stocked. I like fish to, though many focus on just the plants, but I like both. And most loaches are claimed to have hieghtened O2 demands though in previous CO2/O2 mishaps my SAE's seemed more sensative than the loaches. But anyways, my stocking will inlcude about 6-8 Clown Loaches, many Zebra Loaches (currentl have 7), and I am thinking of including a group of Bala Sharks(not sure, maybe 6) and maybe Pearl Gouramis(again not sure, probably a large group 8-12). I'd be willing to put in O2 system but only if you think having this stocking might need the extra O2 over what photosynthesis will provide.
