you dont need a bubbler in a sw tank...thats what powerheads and good water circulation are for

i wouldnt listen to anything who ever told u that say cause its BS... i supose they recomended bioballs and crushed coral aswell lol

Along with recommending the condy anemones with the clowns, crushed coral, puffer and chocolate chip star......I see there isn't a skimmer with that lot which you definitely should have with that lot.

Instead of a bubbler, add another powerhead for circulation. Surface agitation is what helps oxygenate the tank. The one 300gph powehead certainly isn't enough for the tank, but as you don't know what the second one is, I hope it's equal or stronger than the 300gph one.

You should aim for 500 to 1,000 gph from powerheads in a tank that size.

If you plan on having corals, get rid of the chocolate chip star as soon as possible. It is not reef safe and will attack other stars. I learned my lesson the hard way. You can leave the bubbles in if you like the looks.
