hi. ill be putting fish in my recently cycled tank and was wondering if i needed an airpump and airstone for the 20 gal. all thats being used is a whisper 20 power filter. will that provide enough oxygen?

an airstone would be best for any tank.. for a 20g, a bubble wand or long airstone would be excellent.

i think i have an old air pump from my older tanks with an airstone on the end, would that be fine?

I think as long as it works and there were no diseases in that tank, why not. What counts is the airstone isn't all clogged up.

alright. would my fish be alright for a while without this? or should i deff put it in before the fish?

i'd run it before adding fish.. they'll benefit from having it running ahead of time and you can make sure it's free of clogs too.

i have a bubble wall set up, with no air stone, will this provide enough oxygen?
