agitation is good for it helps to provide plentiful oxygen

My planted tank do not require agitation, and is defiantely not something desired.

The 2.5ft had the spray bar under the surface to limit the surface agitation but to give maximum water movement.

Spraybars definately serve a purpose

believe it or not Alasse, but a little agitation on the plant leaves help to continuously clean off their petals of light debris, often naked to the eye.....just a tip

but hey, we disagree about 7 out of 10 times, so I am sure you will disagree this time

like I said, to each their own

I have water movement to do that yasher. Planted tanks do not need vigourous agitation, in fact it is undesirable.

didn't say vigorous...I said, "little agitation"

By vigourous i mean the spray bar above the surface, this gives agitation AND movement.

As i said my planted tanks, the spraybars are kept under the water surface to just give movement definately not agitation

okay I see what you are saying...I was speaking in general terms, a little agitation on plant leaves help clean off debris

yes, movement in the water column especially helps some fish that desire this
