Air Wands/ Stones
I was watching Duece Bigalow and I love the air bubbles in the tank that you can see when there talking about the fish. I see this alot in FOWLR type set ups and would like to do the same. Is this effect achieved simply with Air wands or is it something else.

Not adviseable in saltwater tanks because of the crazy amount of salt creep that you will accumulate from the bubbles. A safer alternative is a to add more flow. Believe me, I used to do this 10 years ago in my fowlr before we new better.

if you have glass cover, go for it, but yea, you'll be cleaning salt creep day and night

Also, you will get more of a "foam wall" than a "bubble wall" in saltwater due to the extra density of the water. Think about the foam in your skimmer.
