I use them in my 10 and my 125... but once they get gunked up, I toss them and it might be quite a while before I remember to get more!
i still use mine but i just remebered to replace them yesterday...after about two weeks of gunkiness. I think some people just don't want to deal with them, or people like me enjoy them but forget to upkeep them. :hang:
I see no need for them.
I just use a powerhead with a ventri (sp?) valve and if I feel the need to add more airation I just adjust the valve.

When you mean necessary do you mean adding O2 to the water (aeration)? Surface agitation by use of powerheads, etc. will provide much better air to water absorption than airstones.
Nope, not me. I see no need for them and have not in years. To me these are noisy and messy decor which I neither want nor need in my tanks.
Oh... I guess I misread. I use the airstones only in my UGF lift tubes... I don't use those long bubble bars as decor. I never have. Never been my thing...
yeah those big luggy things lol
i was always under the impression that you can keep more fish if you run an airstone, of course i got the idea from old books that were published in 1960 lol....guess i should throw them away :dive2:
