Review on Clear and Flexible Aquarium Airline Tubing by Penn Plax - Resists Kinking, 25 Feet Standard by Sarah Johnson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

TOO THIN, HEAVY, NOT SUITABLE FOR WHISPER AIR PUMP or SUCKER

This product is too good to be true at the lowest price. I am very sad that I spent so much time and effort trying to figure out and fix this issue. At first I thought my pump wasn't pumping air, but then I thought it was my air stone. I constantly had to resort to various methods to get some air out of my stones. and trust me These are not my stones. I blew air into the tube and there were many bubbles in the stones. I just didn't work with that tube. My problem is that it is too thin. So when I try to attach it to my check valve, my air pump or even my jacket valve, it barely goes through even after half a minute. Customs service. HE PUSHES SO HARD HE CAN'T GO FURTHER. If that's the default. Why doesn't it meet all the standards I bought from the US franchise store? My biggest issue with this hose is that it is TOO THIN so it stretches and doesn't go anywhere. it CANNOT FIT MY SUCKERS. I bought these suction cups from Petsmart and they won't even snap onto this pipe. it just defeats the purpose of buying suction cups as it just slips through the pipes and sinks into my aquarium. Look at my photo and see all that extra space. Should have read the reviews. Now I have all these extra tubes that I don't need. The low price made me spend more money. F class for this product. It's useless and I'm frustrated that this is an extra article so people are mass buying this lie and inappropriate material.

Pros
  • Thanks to the flexible plastic, this hose is very easy to work with. Ideal for use with aquarium decorations or bubblers and many filters.
Cons
