Review on 🌊 25-Feet Deep Blue Professional ADB12296 Silicone Air Tubing for Aquarium (Assorted Colors) by Kim Marin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The color fades after 10 months of use! Now there is a transparent tube!

Soft, flexible tubing that is much easier to handle than the cheap, stiff, clear tubing commonly found in pet stores. One benefit for me personally was the colour, as I feel it blends in better with my tank - HOWEVER after only 10 months of use the blue tint dissipated wherever the snorkel was in the water. It's clear now. I have a 55 liter freshwater aquarium. This is disturbing for more reasons than one; 1. One of the main reasons I bought it was the color, and 2. My concern is that what they coated this tube with is now in the water in my fish tank! So remember - this is not blue silicone - it is pure silicone that has been "coated" with blue. UPDATE 9/6/17: Just skip this product. The snorkel is now absolutely clean up to the waterline. It has also hardened and is no longer soft underwater. Anything outside of the water is still blue/pliable. This product has definitely been stained and the color will fade with age. I will look for another product.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long lead time
