air bubble wand

[gvran71]

I have a 75 gallon with two poweheads and a return flow from a wet/dry filter.
I purchased an air bubble wand (23 inches) but I have read some posts in this forum not to put air bubbles into the tank. My dealer has a air stone in each of his tanks.
shoud I shelf the bubble strip?

Shelf the bubble wand. I've heard they cause problems too. Something with tiny airbubbles causing the problem. Just make sure you have plenty of surface aggitation.

bubbles are pointless, they can stay on the surface for a long time, then pop, shooting the salt in the water into the area around the tank, thus lowering yor salinity. I have also heard that tooo much bubbles can poison a fish, how im nt sure, but just search for it.

A bubble can work its way into the sensitive gill structure of the fish and cause problems.
