Maintaining proper water flow in planted aquariums is one of the most overlooked yet essential parts of a successful setup. In this video, we show how flow affects filtration efficiency, CO₂ diffusion, and nutrient distribution all critical to keeping both aquatic plants and fish healthy.
Whether you’re running a nano tank or a full-sized planted freshwater aquarium, getting the circulation balance right helps prevent dead zones, improves oxygen levels, and ensures that fertilizers and heat reach every part of your tank.
This demonstration uses a smart, app-controlled EHEIM filter to quietly deliver consistent water movement without disrupting the aquascape. As a trusted name in aquarium filters, EHEIM provides precision, automation, and long term reliability for planted tank setups.
