Air stones

[jsolomon]

Is it necessary to run air stones in your tank. I dont like all the bubbles in the tank and I have read that if the bubbles are small enough it could cause eye problems for the fish. Would I be alright if I didnt run an airstone?

no you dont need to run air stones in the tank. i do because i like the look of it. just make sure you have plenty of circulation and good surface agaitation for good gas exchange.

If you don't mind cleaning up the excessive salt creep that comes with using air stones in SW, then add one if you like how they look.
