[slowmo115]

i want sum bubbles but i dont know what i need to get or anything like that sumhelp please

[Malbri]

you need to get an air pump, air tubing, and an airstone or they sell some ordaments that it will come out of

[jm1212]

you could get an air pump and then attach it to a bubble wand to have a curtain of bubbles

[slowmo115]

were is the best place to but a bubble wall

[jm1212]

it depends where you want it. you could have one dividing the tank in half width wise, or you could ahve one dividing the tank lenght wise, or you coudl ahve a bubble curtain against the back of the tank.

thank u for your help i was also wondering if i should keep it on the opposite side of the tank then the fliter and what size air pump would i need

[lwooters]

It's all personal preference where you put the air stone. The air pumps are sold according to tank size, just get the size that corresponds to your tank.

Just make sure that the bubbles aren't near the intake for the filter.

Did so once and the filter wasn't sucking-cavitation in the impeller/pump.

thank u for that bit of advice that would of been bad

[Mgamer20o0]

air pump really doesnt do anything so it will be for looks. depending on how your tank is set up and what you think looks good is where you should place it.

Bubbles are unnatural and IMO looks and sounds really bad.

If possible, keep the air pump above the top water level in your tank. There are cases of water siphoning out of your tank on a loss of power and flooding a room. Never had much faith in the cheapy common check valves on the market. They get clogged up as does the airline tubing, and fail to work when you need them.

Divide the tank in half with a bubble wall?? huh. anyone here tried that?
how do the fish like it?
It always advises on airpump packaging
that you should always ensure that the outlet isn't the lowest point on the cord, so that water doesn't get into the outlet.
Does everyone here do that? do you do it with All your cords?ie light,filter etc... anyone ever experience a problem from Not doing it?
Thanks.

My pump is on the floor for my bubble wall but everything else corded just has the handy dandy half knot (drip knot).

[slowmo115]

if u split the tank with the bubbles can the fish's still swim through it

[Sammie7]

Yes, some fish even like to play in the bubbles.:dive2:

[slowmo115]
