Hi, I have a 75 litre tank with a stingray 15 filter (and a small filter that came with the 10 litre b&m tank that we got rid of as soon as we realised how cruel it was (thanks Internet)). So I want to know how I can use this to set up an air pump and get some bubbles for oxygenation and aesthetic.

I tried to google it, but all I do with my filter is clean it, and plug it in, so I'm not sure what the outlet is. The entire filter is under water if that helps.

Thank you!

I'm not familiar with that filter so I can't help too much. But on the other hand, I'm not familiar with any filter that you can set up to work as an air pump. These are two different machines that either filter the water, or pump air through a line. The closest I can think of is some filters that you can attach a spray bar to and create a current. But that's all I can think of.

I don't see any means to plug an air line into that Stingray 15 filter (which is a small internal power filter) to add bubbles to the water.

Another option would be to get an air pump, some air tubing and a sponge bubbler filter
