Do u need a air pump for your aquarium???

[crazyman229]

I have e 110 gallon with a fluval 404 and a rena xp3 for filter. So there is no surface break. So is this bad that i do not have a air pump???

Should i get one?? If so how big and what kind.

it's not really needed as long as you have a good turn over rate and some serface disruption to oxygenate the water. Of course all of my tanks have air powered hydro5 sponge filters in them so I don't exactly follow my own advice.

Use one of filters to ripple the suface this should help but i would still use an air pump

That's sick and not in a good way...but funny

Go with an air pump and an air stone or wand. If you want to get smaller bubbles go with a limewood bubbler (like an air stone). You want it to break the surface tension not just move it.
