Aquarium Advice Addict
Pet store ploy?! I have my 55 gallon bow front and a marineland pro series 350 dual filter and dual bio wheel. It's good up to 70-75 gallons. Anyway this girl in my LFS when I went to look for my bristlenose told me it's an ABSOLUTE MUST that I get a air stone, hose, check valve and she suggested a whisper something or other. Said I needed it for proper oxygen in my tank and my fish are suffering with out.
Then went on to tell me I should research more and started asking all kinds of questions about how many fish, what kind, and on and on and on... I asked for the manager and pulled him aside and told him that although it's nice to have employees that are passionate about there job, they need to know when enough is enough! You see I'm a fire chief and deal with the public everyday and. One across all kinds, you just have to know how to talk to them. I felt like I was being treated like a 5 year old!
Anyhow... Do I really need this air stone thing? I mean of I NEED for the health of my fish then I will buy one tomorrow. But I've been reading A LOT and doesn't seem like I need one. It appears I'm getting enough water agitation from the bigger filtration system I've bought.
Thoughts?
Thanks guys...
