    Air stones inside sponge filters, beneath a wavemaker, to synergize aeration and flow, http://www.youtube.com/shorts/5aOOHPRRV9A, in all my large tanks.

    No, I have the stones inside the sponge filter.

    Make sure you add a air stone inside the sponge filter it generates smaller bubbles so you better aeration.

    You should have more than enough air with your sponges alone.

    Air stones and sponge filters?

    Currently, I have 3 large sponge filters each in my 75 and 55 gallon tanks and only use air stones in my IBC containers which are used to age tap water.
    Would it be beneficial to add an air stone to my tanks or even use two sponge filters and an air stone in each tank?
