Setting up a bubble wall?

[Lafeet85]

I was just wondering if I can set up a bubble wall in my fish tank even tho I will be using sand as the substrate. Or will it disturb the sand too much and constantly make particles float?

You'll be fine, I have sand and a bubble wall and i doesn't disturb it at all

If it sits on top of the sand it will be fine.

I was thinking of burying it under the sand.

It'd uncover itself in no time.

I tried that but it just comes back up over time. What I did to hide it/make it look cool was get a long piece of driftwood, drill a hole right down the centre (without splitting it lol) then loads of tiny holes through the top then place your air stone down the centre. Worked like a charm

You could put stones over it. That's what I did with mine. Makes an interesting wall with different sized bubbles.

I have two 10" walls on the side of my tank under the sand, no problems. I suction cupped them to the bottom glass then covered with sand. They don't come up, and don't stir anything up.

Thanks Sean for confirming that for me. I think that is exactly what I will have to do! Wish me luck.
