Is an air pump necessary for an aquarium?

Aquarium air pumps work with aquarium filters, helping oxygenate tank water and preventing harmful gases from becoming problematic. While not strictly necessary for every aquarium, as some setups rely on filters or plants for oxygenation, aquarium air pumps can be incredibly beneficial in tanks with high stocking levels, warm water (which holds less oxygen), or limited water movement.

Can I leave my aquarium air pump on all the time?

Yes, you can and should leave your aquarium air pump on continuously. A constant flow of oxygen and circulation helps maintain good water quality and a stable environment for your aquatic life.
