Areation
Got a quick question about aeration. I was wondering if i should put an airpump with any kind of air stone into my the aquarium. I already have two powerheads running, so i should be good on current. Wondering if i could use some more O2?

Re: Areation
just aim some power heads at the surface of the water. most people think that you need bubbles to add oxygen to a tank, but in reality all you need is to move the surface of the water to get all of the oxygen that you need.
i guess that i am saying no to the air pump and wooden airstone. Current Aquarium(s) Description: SPS dominated 125, 100 gallon frag tank, 100 gallon rubbermaid sump Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 3 years, fragging 2 1/2 years

Re: Areation

Re: Areation
no doubt, ill get some photos tonight. They were my passion for the last 9 years lol. I went with the info my LFS gave me with regards to using crushed coral as a substrate, ive now read that they can cause alot of phosphates. Never had problems with my Africans. Any info?
