I have almost the same tank as you except height is 2.5ft......so far no sign of fishes or corals shortage of oxygen, I have a overflow, return and rotating PH to help circulate the water though, I think the stirring of the water on the surface should have sufficent interaction with the air to bring oxygen to the tank.

If you want to be sure, just position your return header half in water and half in air, but will have lots of small bubbles in the tank which is quite annoying.

not advisable... will cause lots of salt spray.. when the bubble burst

[ashidiq]

if not using airstone what can i do to make sure there is sufficeint O2 in my tank ?

jaz ensure that the current flow is strong that should be okie

never see anyone had bubbles in marine tank before

oic .... but for my tank specification what type of power head do i need ? to generate water movement in tank

A tunze 6060 will give you more than enough current.

hi FuEL,

can you provide more info about the tunze 6060? wat is the output in terms of litres/hour? and how much does it cost roughly? I'm looking at one for my 3 feet tank...

Think the price is slightly below $200. Drop by paradiz reef to have a look. Specifications are available on the box.
