Should i leave my aquarium air pump on all the time

It is generally recommended to leave the aquarium air pump running all the time. The air pump helps to oxygenate the water in the aquarium, which is essential for the health of your fish and other aquatic inhabitants.

However, there may be situations where you need to turn off the air pump temporarily, such as when feeding your fish or performing maintenance tasks. In such cases, it is usually fine to turn off the air pump for a short period of time. Just make sure to turn it back on as soon as possible to ensure a continuous supply of oxygen to the aquarium.
