Hello,
I am new to aquariums. I am confused about air filters. I have a 10 gallon tank with a biowheel filter and a 38 gallon tank also with a filter, not a bio wheel. I have not added fish to the 10-gallon yet. It will be tropical. The 38 gallon contains two goldfish and two snails.

Do I also need an air filter? If so, what do I get? If I understand correctly the air filter can be attached to bubble walls etc. Of course, adding more oxygen to the water.

Thanks for all advice.
 
The biowheel filter should be all you need. Is it a Penguin? Is the tank cycled? You could add an airstone if you like the bubbles but it's not necessary.
