Cool.

Now that's done the 'real work' begins, so to speak. More specifically, what type of ornamental 'action' bubbler(s) have you decided on or are currently considering at this point? There are quite few options, so I would take some time with it.

well i dont have any actiony ornamental ones but i did think about bubblers when i set up the tank. my filter ha a little hole on top of the spicket that sucks in air and mixes with the water to make a buble jet thing. so u just put a little hose that came with the filter into the hole and keep the hose out of the water, put the filter underwater and bubbles shoot out with the water which makes a little current that my oscar LOVES to swim against and through and stuff, theres also a power meter which controls the power of the water coming out. so as water shoots out so do bubbles and they slowly float to the surface. so there you have it.. my bubble system and dont worry, a lot of bubbles come out so the water is definitely oxygenated enough.
