Thanks for the tip Tim. I'll do that. Hopefully a good sized airstone will do the trick.

Hi SoS,

Airstones can cause a lot of mess in a tank. My recommendation would be a small powerhead pumping water from the bottom of the tank to the top.

Another thing that may help is to add CO2. A fun way to do this is to add a fish or two. :D

Cheers,
Tim
