bubble wall and pump confusion

[rainbowrocks]

I'm just after some advise. I would like a bubble wall in our new "hopefully getting it very soon" fish tank.

I have been looking at the multicolored strips that go along the bottom of the tank, do I also need to purchase the air pump to connect to it?

Not overly fussed if it's noisy (have seen quieter ones) as the tank is going in the kitchen.

I'm a bit confused as some of the listings say pump not included but doesn't state what pump is compatable. I don't want to spend loads more money on unessisary equipment!

Many thanks

I'm far from an expert, OP, but yes, you will need a pump as well as the strip thing. I haven't used a bubble wall strip thing, but I have used a variety of air stones, and there's never been any problem with incompatibility. Maybe they all just come in a standard size, or maybe I've just been lucky. But to eliminate all doubt you could either try to buy the pump and strip as a package, or buy them from the same brand.

Enjoy your fish!

If you want a bubble wall you will need:

1. An air stone of your choice
   
2. Air line (tubing)
   
3. Air pump
   

All air stones and tubing tends to be of standard size.
