I'm working on building a reef jar for my cubicle. So far, I have the 2 gallon jar, an outlet timer, the lid/light combo, Sicce 10W heater, and Finnex Thermometer Controller.
I'm not sure what to do for an air pump or air stones. Should I use something big and powerful, or is that too much airflow? Is there an ideal liters per minute number that works well? Also, what airstones are people using? I think the sand ones supposedly dissolve in saltwater, but I worry about microbubbles from a ceramic or metal airstone (I also don't really want to put metal into saltwater for obvious reasons).
