I dont care for them either. They just cause more salt creep than usual.

Like Bjohanson said,the only thing a bubblewand is good for is causing salt creep.They are okay for freshwater,not salt.

Well, it's not a bubble wand, but here are some pics of worthless :pooh: in my wifes 20g high, freshwater tank.
Ahhhhh, the bubbling skeleton:
Let's not forget the bubbling treasure chest:
:roll:
She's got plastic corals in there, a castle and suspended bridge, fake plastic plants, and a bunch of other worthless :pooh:. But the worst thing is those 2 monsterous goldfish. Good gawd! What a waste of 20g of clean water!! I keep telling her to flush them of trade them for something tropical, but she won't have it. One of them lost it's color, so it's just white now. I named them One Fish and Two Fish. My 6yr old daughter calls them Goldie and Diamond. :roll:
I just hang onto the hope that someday, she will wise up and realize how rediculous it looks. Maybe then she will get some real plants, fish and tank decorations. It's colorful, but it couldn't be anymore cheesey unless she floated a 2lb brick of cheddar on the surface.
Until then, all I can do is keep my reef looking spiffy and thank her when she compliments how beautiful it looks. I then point out to her that it's all natural. No fake plants or castles in my reef.

I gotta say...
...one of my guilty pleasures is ultra-cheesy freshwater tanks...bubbling skulls and all.
There's just something comforting about it :D

haha yes they are fun to look at but definitely not fun to own.... I would imagine

I guess they might be fun to own...if you've never had a reef tank before. I can't see myself ever taking pride in showing off a freshwater tank like that after having my saltwater tank for so long.
