Do you really need a bubble air maker?

Question

I have bought a 90 gallon tank and have everything set up but was wondering if it is absolutely necessary to have an air pump maker? I want to get my fish saturday but at the moment its cost me over £400

Answer 1

You don't have to have air stones but they are super cheap and look great in tanks. Although you do need to purchase a pump to if you haven't got one laying around. Also I am hoping you do have a filter?? If so this should do if you really don't want to spend the extra few dollars.

Answer 2

Naaaaaah. air stones are rarely essential. they are here just to make your aquarium more beautiful.

Answer 3

You should keep a bubbler on hand just in case.  Many medicines (mostly antibiotics that strip oxygen from the water) will almost require you to have one in addition to your filter.  Also, if the water gets too warm they are useful to have to replace oxygen lost in warner waters.

Answer 4

NAA ITS PERFECTLY FINE TO NOT HAVE 1, JUST MAKE SURE YOU OPEN UR LID EVERY DAY TO LET SOME OXYGEN IN =]

Answer 5

of course you need it it gives your fish a lot more oxygen.it will also make your fish live longer.
