Air Stone... Will I Need To Add One?

[SchottayB]

Hi guys, easy way of me discribing this is... water goes up the left of the tank (pump), filterd through the top (lid filter), and waterfalls back into the tank on the right.

Lots of air bubbles in there, been told it's all I will need. But would an air stone being added to the tank be good for the fish or bad for them if there is too much?

Thats if you can too much oxygen lol

Thanks

airstones/aircustains dont really put oxygen into the tank 'unless you have a mother of a airpump running it', its disruption at surface level that creates the oxygen, therefore if your filter's outlet is breaking the surface then that will do the job.

all that said, having an airstone will not cause issues and imo helps circulate the water and causes uplift for debris which hopefully then gets near the filter

even though i have monster filters hitting the water i still have a very large airpump with 18 aircurtains pushing out 4000ltrs/hour, cos i like the look lol, even more so when the blue tube kicks in and makes the bubbles look blue...heres a vid of mine

That looks awsome!

I deffo like the look of bubbles in a tank and the fish seem to plan in and around the stream.

thats true, the fish do love swimming in the bubble wall, but also, i have curtains under caves and in places where water would become stagnant, so having a curtain in bad places like that, helps circulate water around the tank
