natural look might be lost....but that's my opinion..

I used to do for my small tank when I started....side effects...dun know, never notice...too ignorant at tha stage...

[kee]

haha i just put very very small flow... just wondering any side effect or not

[FuEl]

LOTS of salt spray when the bubbles burst at the surface.

[kee]

any side effect to the fishes or coral?? haha if not then nvm lah haha i think the bubble is nice

IMO,not really recommeded.Firstly,It is not very natural.Secondly,evaporation rate will rise.Thirdly,salt crepe will accumulate on the equipment above.Fourthly,the fine bubbles may trap inside the fish grill and cause death.

Hi!

You can use those big bubblers that create large slow bubbles. Actually, any air line clipped to the bottom will do. No requirement for air stones really. They generate random swells as they breech the surface (esp in a small tank you can really see the surface ripple). Good way to generate some water movement without heat. Problem of course is salt creep, although generally its not as bad as diffusers.

IMO... i dun think you should do that.. hard corals do give off a kinda slime once in a while.... when the bubbles gets to the slime it sticks there make i having a very unpleasent look... and also... the natural look is gone..

other then the appearence... do take not of the salt spray when the bubble burst...

however i agree with you that a little bubble makes it look kinda lifely... lol
