yet another question!

[aidanchick]

I decided to just stick to the Beginner forum for now, cause I am asking so many beginner type questions!

I got thinking about adding, some air stones, you know the things you put in the back of the tank to make like a wall of bubbles? I can get the air pump, tubes, and an airstone for aound $25 at my lfs.. do those do any sort of improvments for a tank, besides just making them look all pretty?

it circulates the water and provides O2 in the water, it's not good for live planted tanks bc it takes the C02 out of the water from the surface agitation i use an air pump formy goldfish tank with the bubble wall i like the black one thats flexible works great and i can wrap it around a rock  *celebratesmiley*

Like panther said, it's not good for planted tanks, and the only benefit it provides for fish-only tanks are the looks. Modern filters provide all the aeration you need.
