i have purchase a 100gallons aquarium and have a motor pump(i should say a filter) and the pump is blow like hell the current is so strong for my arowana so i purchase a rain bar/spray bar but i notice that it disable my air coming from the motor pump then convert it to the bar hmm
and my question is rain bar/spray bar is safe to use?? even dough i disable the air current for the motor and convert it to the rain/spray bar? i only have one air pump but planning to purchase a bigger or 2more but for the mean time i have one
so can anyone help me? im having doubt about the rain/spray bar that it can't oxygenates tank?
sorry if im a bit noob im just a new guy :D

if you mount your spray bar so it breaks the surface of the water you'll be fine.
oxygen enters the water through surface movement.

Depends on the filter for a 100gal tank you want something with 300gal/hr (1200L/h) flow, your only real choices are the eheim 2080 (pro 3), fluval FX5 or aquaone aquis 2400.
one of these would be ok for a single arowana. ifyou weere willing to use 2 filters then 2 big eheims (2217's 2028's, 2228's) or fluval 405's or aquaone 1200's would do the job.
you only need 1 good airpump, oxygen enters through surface movements (breaks in the surface tension) one good pump with around 400l/h of air would do the job.
a skimmer will be of limited use, as you should try and feed your arrow floating pellets or sticks theres a good chance that the skimmer will just suck these into the filter before the arrow eats them (though my saratoga smashes them before they hit the water)

im sure you are the same person that posted on another site and the same anser was told that these fish shouldnt be together in the first place ?
the discus will end up getting really hurt or eaten if not removed soon !!!!
