i have a air pump and air stone i was gunna put in my 58 gallon for surface aggitation. buti think they can ruin the look of a tank what do you think
 
I got 8 foot of bubble wall running along the back of my 300 I like it it hides the algae growth but its bad for taking pics though
 
I think the round ones look a lot better that the colorful wands..

If you have rainbow colored gravel with plastic decorations, of course it will look cheesy. If your tank has some class, there's always ways of making it look good.

If your unsure, and are just going for surface agitation, why not just go with a small powerhead? Same price
 
i already have a tetra air pump the black stealth line and a new stone and anti siphon valve i got in some stuff i bought and was considering trying it but didnt want to stray away from the natural look but i understand what you saying besides the tank heater isnt very natural lol
 
cheeky? and you live in florida? :) I love the look of a long line of bubbles, sometimes I put the powerhead flowing through it and get a cascade of bubbles, I find them relaxing to watch.
 
I used an airpump and bubble wand when I first got my aquarium, after a little I decided I didnt like the look and the bubble wand also produced tons of micro bubbles which always made my water look cloudy.
 
IT can look good or bad like others said...here is how I have them in my tank....I have overflows that are about 6" in from the corner of the tank...so I have a 4" stone under the gravel on each side...
