So I have switched over to the sealed wet/dry sump. I would say my favorite part is getting all of the hardware out of the tank. I went with a HOB Overflow 6-800 GPH and have it maxed out. I have my filters low and my water level high in the sump. The water crashes down from the intake onto the water below. This area is completely air tight sealed. It goes through three pond filters and then a polishing pad. The second chamber is where I keep my heater, pump, and power head breaking up my CO2. From the pump it goes out of the sump to an large external canister filter with 100 ppm filter and then into the tank.
My question is:
I am used to seeing CO2 and oxygen bubbles in the tank, but now there are very few small bubbles. I see air going into water in the intake portion of the sump, and plenty of co2 in the water in the output side. Can the co2 and oxygen get dissolved completely?
