I currently use a rainbar.

My worry is that if the rainbar is below water level, then effectively the dissolved oxygen would be lesser than if I had placed the rainbar above water.

pls enlighten me.

thanks and regards

O2 is dissolved when there's interaction between water and air. Water movement allows that interaction which hence improves air circulation. It's not the same as the air bubbles that you see when water from the rain bar splashes into the tank's water.
