Safe to leave running?

I bought an air pump for my 26 gallon tank. I love how you can adjust the strength of the airflow! I have it hooked up to an ornament, and just got it for cosmetic reasons, I have an excellent filter system. Is it okay to keep the air pump running all the time, or should I just have it on when I have their light on?

Good morning. You can leave the air pump on all the time if you wish. You could actually put it on a timer if you wanted to. The more oxygen the better, but as long as you have a lot of movement at the surface of the water everything should be fine. Have a good day today!

I agree with Aquarist The only reason I have mine off is because it sounds like a herd of elephants are rumbling through my room at night! But, the more oxygen in the water the better either way
