eggy Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 thinking about getting one... is it worth while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think it's more a matter of personal taste. I like to have airstones in my tanks, hubby likes the little ornaments. The only thing with some of the bigger ones is that they seem to re-lease one massive bubble every 5 seconds or so rather than a stream of them and I'm not sure that would be doing much to oxygenate the water, so a second source might be needed.

eggy Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 yeah i guessed that... i might be getting a new 100 to 200 l fish tank for my b-day which i only have one filter for so i think a small airstone so the waters well oxygenated. should i get a plain airstone and hide it away or should look into a decorative airstone?

Peter16 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 You can get air pumps with 2 outlets and you could run one hose to the ornament and have the other to a hidden air stone. Or if you only have one outlet get one of those "T" sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpiasente Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think it depends on how you want your tank to look. I have seen some great tanks decorated with quirky ornaments, you could go with a theme. I saw one tank with piranhas in it and a tiny scoober diver in there, it was very cute. ( I could have seen it on here, not sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
