This fish owner has a question about bubblers/airstones. Have you used one? Join the discussion and share your experiences.
"Hello. Does a freshwater tank have to have air bubbles blown into it? I have a very tall 55-gallon tank. I bought a long, thin "bubble blower" (for lack of a better term). The idea was to have the bubbles streaming up the back wall of the tank. I cannot get the dang suction cups to stay and it keeps coming apart. Is it necessary to have the bubbles? Should I get something else? Thanks in advance for any advice!!"

i know that this may sound simple but i had to do this with some of my suction cups, try using different/stronger ones. you can get them pretty much anywhere
The airstone gives the fish extra oxygen to breath and adds an “air” of beauty to your tank. I have used these and found that burying the wand under the gravel or weighing it down with pretty rocks or shells works and has a nice effect on the movement of the bubbles. Good luck to you and happiness to your fish.
Airstones and bubble blowers help but arnt neccasary unless your filter doesnt provide air. Power filters, and undergravel filters help bring O2 into the tank. Live plants also create oxygen.
