Air Stones

[CamG369]

Hi, I'm running am air stone in my 105L tank but whenever I turn it on it disturbs whatever is on the water surface and makes the water look awful

My question is, should I just run it and see if it's all filtered out or should I keep it off?

Thanks

The whole purpose of an airstone is to create surface turbulence and break up any films that have formed on the surface.

What is being disturbed that annoys you?

I'm not sure what it is, just looks like small particles of something or other that it pushes down into the water

A photo or video would help. And more data, such as what filter is on this tank (and is it on full time)? What is in the tank, fish and plant wise? How often are water changes done and how much volume?

What's happening is that dust or debris on the waters surface is being kicked around the tank when the air stone is on

I have turned it on to see if this will be filtered out
