With a bubbler could I just use a water pump instead of airstones?
If the pump was powerful enough to agitate the surface would that work?

Re: Water pump instead of airstones.
yes it would work, but not as effectively. the pump would floom the surface of the water creating dissolved oxygen, same as airstones....BUT....the airstones , by creating bubbles, will produce more surface agitation due to the bubbles which have a larger surface area, overall and hence produce more DO..
there is a reason they use airstones. diffusers are even better as they produce smaller bubbles, which again have more surface area, when breaking the surface

airstones are better to be honest
