SRC Member james72 Posted February 5, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 5, 2004 tank is 3 by 1.5by 2. do i need to use a air stone in my tank to make sure there is sufficent O2 content in my tank ? 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.

FuEl Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Think the price is slightly below $200. Drop by paradiz reef to have a look. Specifications are available on the box.
