I want to have a bubble wall in my ninety gallon tank but am wondering if I need a 90 gallon air pump to run it or if I can get a lower gallonage for just running the bubble wall.
Thanks

Most air pumps say what size bubble wand/stone they are equipped to run. So if you wanted lotsa bubbles, I would say to get several large pumps and get the wands/stones that can be run by the large pumps. Just look on the pump box to see what size airstone it can run.

Hope I helped!

Most I have seen just have a recommended tank size and water depth. Usually it doesn't matter what size airstone it is pushing air into. It's the depth of the water that matters.

That too. It's just I was giving the OP an idea of what was needed. The instructions on the box should tell you what you could do.
