Please log in for more thread options I wanted to have a bubble wand or two in the back lenght of the aquarium for
the effect. I was told by one person that bubbles in salt aquarium lead to
the salt collecting at the top glass, above water level, where the bubbles
"pop". I assume this also leads to lower salinity over time.
Any experience out there? Worse case scenario I only turn it on for house
guests.
Thanks in advance.

It does cause a lot more salt creep.

I've always used airstones in my tanks. You do get quite a bit of
salt on things around the water line. The effects on salinity seem to
be negligeable to me. If you are changing some water even very
occasionally I don't think there is an issue.

I seem to think adding air stones, bubble wands to salt tanks is
pretty well not often seen. Folks usually ocmplain with any type of
bubbles anywhere in a marine tank. Personally I do not like them, but
thats my personal preference. I do not even like them on a fresh
water tank, but one thing is for sure, They will create a lot more
salt creep as others have posted.

Please log in for more thread options If you don't mind having to scrape hardened salt off the
aquarium, off the stand, and the carpet, and having the
salt corode the lights and everything else, and salt
messing up the wall, then go for it :-)
