Nope. So long as the top of the tank is sealed, and the air that's being bubbled up through the tank is taken from inside the top of the tank to start with, I reckon the tank would be stable. The air inside the top of the tank might end up quite low-pressure, I suspect, and I imagine you'd need to figure out some way to re-oxygenate it. Having said that, the exposed portion of water surface lower down would also be able to re-oxygenate the tank. The tank wouldn't have a very effective surface area, though.
Just a gut feeling.

Right, the bubbling isn't necessary, but I thought (probably just imagined) someone mentioned earlier how one of the tanks on that site had bubbles in it. I was just trying to think how that would work.
You'd need lots of agitation down on the exposed surface, though, to get lots of oxygenation happening, to make up for the tank having such a small surface area.
yea. Well a lot of peoples tanks doesn't have total surface agitation, and im pretty sure you can replicate it on the outside (at least i did). I myself was wondering how the bubbles was not pushing the water out, until someone mentioned the intake was at the top also. I met set it back up one day.
