Posted	air pump
29-07-2006 10:25 by emma123	ive got a really good pump in my new tank it runs 2 big air stones at the min ive only got a few fish in there as im just starting up is it ok to turn my pump down a bit at night so that there is just a steady amount of bubbles? its in my bed room and the noise drives me nuts at night lol and is it possible to have the pump up to high?
29-07-2006 10:37 by kevin george	personally u need the air pump running the same output all the time,when i had my tank in my bedroom and was using airpump i wrapped it in a towel to muffle the noise try that.
29-07-2006 10:52 by keith t	Shouldnt really need an air pump, the filter should be able to circulate the water enough especially as u only have a few fish
29-07-2006 14:20 by emma123	lol now im confused
29-07-2006 14:40 by Danny Boy	id go with keith. if the filters outlet is at the waters surface that will oxygenate the water more than enough. its not the bubbles that put air in the water its when they break the waters surface and thats when air can enter the water. so as long as the outlet of your filter is disturbing the top of the water then you dont need the pump at all
