[JimP]

Just set up my tank and am awaiting fish, I know this might sound stupid but do I need an air pump in there???

Cheers

you don`t need one but they are handy....

you can get enough oxygen into the water using your filter...
the surface of the water is where oxygen exchange takes place. if you move the water near the surface around by aiming the filter outlet at itr you`l have more oxygen exchanged,

you don`t Need one but they come in handy when everything goes wrong.....
