Hey everyone I have a quci question. I purchased the Ario 4 moonlight and I think It pushes too much air in the tank. Is it a such thing as that? It makes my tank very very cloudy and its ugly as ever. You think its safe to leave this thing running in my tank with all this air going thru it? Here is a short vdeo of my tank air flow.

There is no such thing as too much aeration... That being said, I would never have something like that in my tank.

What is your setup like? You may not need to aerate at all.

No offense, but that thing is horrible. Get it out now.

the only thing you are hurting with that thing is the view of your tank get it out
and use pumps for water flow to produce oxygen

I can ONLY assume with that set-up, if it is even SW, that this will be fish only? The reason I ask is because you have FW decorations w/fake corals on them.

I would not use that in either a FW or SW tank, as the microbubbles just cloud the tank. If the pump inside that unit has something like a needle-wheel making the bubbles soooooooo tiny, you can take that part out. If your going FW styling, with air bubbles and fake decorations, big fat non-clouding air-bubbles might be nice.
