When I was trying to fall asleep last night an idea popped into my head so here it goes looking of input. A Little info I have a Biocube 32 do not run a skimmer have a little GHA in the tank as of right now added Mexican Turbo snails to try and clear it up .

So the Idea
Put an air stone in the 1st chamber to kinda of act like a skimmer of sorts .
My questions
Will this mess up water params ?
Will it concentrate contaminates and end up being more harm then good and possible cause tank crash or bigger algae issues ?
Will it add more Oxygen to the water ?

Will this just create more tank maintenance then its worth ?

I know this will cause some salt creep on the inside of the lid and make me change floss more then every 2 days .
 
It is I am considering it . Ive also starting to research DIY skimmer trying research all options before i spend money (yes Im being Cheap with some stuff) .
Always trying to improve the tank while saving money
