Quick question about bubbles
We have a 100 gal fish only with about 75lbs of live rock in it. The question is this. On my power head that I have would it be better to run it with a air pump to make bubbles or not?

Not. Excessive bubbles can be irritating to fish.

i would not use that venturi tube that is put on the powerheads because like reefland said, it will not only irritate fish, but it will make a ton of salt creep on the edge of your tank and everything (all the bubbles going up to the top and splashing...)

Not only that, but the large amounts of air being run through your water column could mess with your pH. Definately a "no."
