surface agitation
« on: April 04, 2014, 09:07:08 PM »
Can you have to much surface agitation?  I have 125g with a Hydor Koralia 1500 and a fx6 that I positioned  output valves just below surface.  Just seems a little turbulent.

Yes, you can agitate the surface to the point that you are creating more evaporation than ideal gas exchange.  Exact formula is beyond my education.
