Air pump?

[Cogus]

I know this may sound like a dumb question but do i need an air pump for my tank? Ive seen some with out them soo i wasn't sure.

For saltwater, air pumps or bubblers become more of a hassle than they are worth. They create a lot of salt creep on lights and all around the tank. The bubbles pop at the surface and throw salt everywhere. Most salt tanks do not use them.

Not a dumb question I was wondering that myself. So where does the oxygen come from?
Wake maker? Skimmer?

Skimmer and surface agitation

So you would need to point a power head towards the surface ?

Yes i do, its good for gas exchange
also an overflow will pull in oxygen
