I recently installed a cheap backup air pump to my drilled 55gallon which is designed to turn on and operate on battery power in the event of a power outage. I set the air stone up near the top corner of the tank, submerged only about 3-4 inches into the water. In the event that this must provide oxygen to the tank for several hours, will this placement be a problem? I'm trying to think of wether or not the dissolved oxygen will diffuse throuhgout the tank or if it will be ineffective, being that it is placed so high up and to the side. The only reason I set the stone up where I did is for asthetics.
