Air Wall OR Air Stone???

[Starry]

Hi everyone !

What is better, an air wall or air stone for a 10 gallon tank with 2 platys in it.
I bought an air wall, (18 inches) but it seems too big for the tank. Should I get a smaller one? If so, how many inches? Or should I just get an air stone?

Also, how long do you leave it on for? All day and night? Is it disturbing for the fish if it is kept on constantly?

Thank you for your advice ! ! !

Starry,
I have both an air stone and a bubble wall, in different tanks. I like the bubble wall better, and i leave mine on all of the time. Mine is in a 10 and covers most of the back wall of my tank, i have sword fry in the tank, and they love it. At first they were not too happy with it, but now they ride the bubbles. I have 1 of those air stones in with my betta boys, they little tiny one in with red and the bar one in with blue, kids named them, Blue surfs on his and red could care. I guess it kind of depends on the fish.

I got the bubble curtain thing and like it better just for the looks. The fish like sandyd said like to play in it!!!!

Do you have a control on your line. When I first put my bubble curtain in the tank it was covering the top of the tank in a layer of bubbles. Then I got an air line kit from my LFS and was able to control the volume now it works fine and the fish love to swim through it.
