  • It depends on the surface area to volume ratio of the tank - if it is rectangular, and not too deep then you should be ok. Airstones are really for goldfish bowls, where the surface area is smaller, or where you have a multi-part filter that uses a pump & tubing. In that case, the airstone fits on the end of the tubing. If you have an all-in-one filter it should be ok.
  • Hello; Air stones bubbles do not oxygenate water well. The air stone bubbles create water movement from below the surface to the surface. It is at the surface of the water where gas exchange takes place. If your filter does this --- you are fine. Enjoy! OFM
  • Unless you are using the tank for breeding, I suggest adding the aeration device.
