I was just wondering... I'm planning on setting up a 30 gallon tank, do I need some sort of air pump to oxygenate the water? How does oxygen get in the water? or any special considerations i need to make?
If you plan on using a HOB filter, the water will be oxgenated via surface agitation of the flow. You can always put an airstone in the tank, though it isn't necessary.
