I have a 75 gallon tank whose main host is a turtle... but I recently added in some fish to make it more lively (3 bala sharks and 2 Chinese Algae Eaters). I understand that I need to do something to get oxygen into the tank and this is where I'm lost...
Am I correct in saying oxygen can get into the tank by agitating the water at the top? I've bought a hydro-sponge filter that's creating bubbles that I hope will do the trick for this. So that brings me to air pumps and which one I need to pick/what rating.
Do I really need an air pump rated for 75gals (or higher)? Right now I have a rena for 50g.
And what air pump is good! I'm having major problems with this. I bought a top fin and it was loud... I exchanged for a Tetra Whisper for 60g and it was even louder! (The engine itself, not it vibrating).. I'm now on the rena. I've heard amazing reviews about the tetra being super quiet so I'm wondering if it was just that particular pump or...
Much thanks for the help.
