Review on 🐠 Anchorstone Sand Airstone by JW Pet Company - Enhancing your Aquarium Accessory Experience by Cindy Carlin

The most disappointing thing was that the aerostone broke after about a month of work. When handled during maintenance, it easily broke into two roughly equal parts. If someone had known in advance about the fragility of this aerostone, perhaps this could have been avoided. Cons #1: The product description says it can be placed anywhere in the tank. Not true - it needs to be buried half horizontally to stay securely in place. Cons #2: The air hose connector comes straight out of the Aeroston. If the diffuser is horizontal, this means that the tube must be bent at right angles to reach the top of the aquarium. This has the following disadvantages: unsightly, difficult to hold, prone to kinking, prevents placement in a corner. Why not square the connector so the air hose can go straight to the surface? While it can be argued that twisting a tube with a larger radius will result in less pressure drop than a rectangular connector, this doesn't outweigh the disadvantages.
