if you like the completely opaque look of a tank full of foam, then yes...i just happened to answer asimilar question from someone else, so i'll just paste it here again...
bubble makers aren't good in a saltwater tank, becuase saltwater has greater surface tension than freshwater. this means that bubbles are more stable and tend to stay smaller, so they don't float to the surface as quickly or pop as easily. this is good for protein skimmers, since the bubbles are more stable and are better at trapping waste molecules to be pushed into the collection cup, but bad for bubble makers and splashing filters...
