Is It Ok To Take Out My Airstone

[chubbs9]

as topic title,i got an airstone in my tank at the mo and i dont like the look of the pipes etc.....my external filter is pumping into the tank and i got the bars just under the water,i have ripples on the surface of the water but not much,is that enough to put oxygen/air into the water?

cheers for any replies

That shouldn't be a problem, and you could always raise the spray bar a little higher again for peace of mind so that there is more surface disturbance

It's perfectly fine to remove your airstone if you don't like it. As long as the water surface is rippling nicely, there should be plenty of oxygen in the water.
