Bubble Stick In a 55g SW Tank

I was just reading thru a thread and everyone was looking at some pics this person had of their 29g tank and he had a bubble stick in there and everyone was telling him to take it out for many diffrent reasons one because of salt creep and another because of might scare fish. well the reason I am asking is because I have one in my tank and I have noticed that on the top of my heater cover and the filter and even on my light bulbs which are about 6 inches off the top of my tank have some salt on them. the only reason I have it in there is because I thought it looked cool but the problem I have is I kinda rely on it for cirrculation now because I dont have any powerheads and wont be able to get any for about 2 weeks. so I was wondering if I should wait tilll then to take it out or if it would be safe to take it out now I have 2 hang on the back filter types any input would be helpful. thank you
