Air pump with a submersible pump

[soupa2]

some of us have submersible pump for their sump, W/Dry, and ect.. well i don't want to have a air bubblier in my tank.. i was thinking putting the bubblier in my sump where my submersible pump is.. and use the pump to push the air out to my tank.. what would be your advise to this fellow MFKerssss..

If I understand you correctly you want your pump to suck up the air in the sump and in return shoot it up into the display tank? I wouldnt thats just asking for your pump to be damaged.

Yeah if that's what your talking about your pump will be damaged because it's getting air

Why dont you just have your outlet a tad bit under the tanks water level and drill a safety hole? Depending on your how strong your pump is you will shoot bubbles down like a mad man.

i see some hobbyist recommend this method to eliminate the bubble wand out of show tank and directly put it next to the pump.. let the submerisble pump push air to displace in the show tank..

Bubbler is for surface agitation to allow gasses in water to release bubbler doesn't add oxegen to water as far as I understand oxegen is pulled from outside air
