@JosephWeatherson O2 is good. Brilliant. I'm sure your tank is incredibly healthy!

what do you people think happens on reel reefs?
i would love to do that to my 240

The hypothetical advantages are further oxygenation of the water, waste matter removal via "tank as a skimmer" and forcing corals to slime and thus releasing waste.

why?

Did you make the system yourself or did you purchase it? How much would it cost?

Yes, I made this air injection system myself with both store bought parts and the DIY acrylic air collection device. The few acrylic parts required I had on hand so the cost was negligible. The store bought items were two air pumps, RO 1/4" feed line and assorted John Guest fittings and valves. See the mentioned website for a detailed diagram of all the parts used.

What you use for air injection?

Do an internet search for Reef Central's "Reefkeeping" online magazine and find the April 2008 "Tank of the Month" article. It's diagramed and explained there. I can't attach a link. Sorry.

The micro bubbles can get trapped on the fish and irritate them.

Ive been doing this multiple times daily for over 4-years with no visible signs of irritants. The bubbles dissipate within a few minutes of the end of the 1-minute cycle. The fish typically duck into the rock when the cycle starts. I wonder how fish fair in the wild near the surf with similar circumstances.
