I just purchased a protein skimmer for my 14 gal Biocube but it is missing the airstone hat was supposed to come with it do I have to use the lime wood type or would any 2 inch stone work for now? And if it is the only kind I can use does anyone in the downtown area have one seeing as how I cant find one at any LFS that I have access to currently.

Petsmart and petco carry them. But you need to use the lime wood because it makes allot finer bubbles than an air stone

Thanks! I got a couple of air stones got it working and today I emptied the skimmer for the first time after about 2 hours of adjusting to get the bubbles perfect but EEEEEWWWWWWWW I thought I had a clean tank what came out was almost brown!
