Reliable Airstone + Air Pump for standard 125?

[Northwest_Scapes_]

Title says it all, does anyone have a good Airstone + Airpump that works good for a standard 125? I can't use powerheads since the fish I'm designing the tank for love low flow but need high oxygen requirements.

Never used air pumps in saltwater, but on our freshwater tanks we have used eheim air 400 pumps in tanks up to 5 feet deep with great results. They have a dual output and are adjustable. I would never use another but that’s just me

I was just looking at that earlier! Good to know it works, I'd really hate for the pump to die on me overnight / out of town

Are you planning on a skimmer? That should give you plenty of gas exchange.

At that tank size id just go ahead and get a sponge filter to act as a air stone and extra filter

Not for this build, since it's a FOWLR I'm just going more "Fish Bowl" style (Canister filter)

Thats true, I'll have to ask Jay Hemdal to see if that's ok or not since I know Sponge Filters can make a decent amount of flow, I'll have to see if that'll work or not
