Air bubbler/stone
How necessary is an air bubbler in a planted aquarium?

Not necessary at all.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

In fact, an airstone is not needed in any properly set tank. Current is needed, separate aeration is not.

I have a clam shell that opens and closes with an air bubbler, and on several occasions, I have walked in to our room and found Luau playing in the bubbles (these aren't air stone bubbles, these are bigger because they build up then once the clam shell opens, they are released) and chasing them. It's very entertaining =)
5.5g: Pond snails
5.5g: Red Cherry Shrimp and Rams
10g: PZ the Pee Wee (DP), Ghost shrimp, Otos x3
36g: Luau the F8, Zebra nerites x8, sometimes a herd of ghost shrimp for food
60g: Perches the starry blenny, 1 watchman goby Snaps the l.c. hermit, 2 emerald crabs, 1 red crab, 2 turbos, 7 asteas, 2 nerites, 2 clown gobies and 2 firefish gobies (upgrading to a 90 gallon reef)
RIP Yoshi, you are dearly missed <3

Hula loves air bubbles too. I have a bubble disc in my tank and he loves to "ride" the bubbles from the tank floor to the top, then repeat.goldielocke76 wrote:I have a clam shell that opens and closes with an air bubbler, and on several occasions, I have walked in to our room and found Luau playing in the bubbles (these aren't air stone bubbles, these are bigger because they build up then once the clam shell opens, they are released) and chasing them.

So as long as the surface is rippling, the aeration should be sufficient?
