I liked the look of it, but there were almost none.

I liked the look of this aquarium, but after a few days there were almost no more bubbles. I've tried taking it out and cleaning it (not that it's still necessary) but it made no difference. I replaced it with an old one that luckily I didn't throw away, a different brand. It still worked, it just looked ugly.

Pros
  • Creates a continuous tower of bubbles to aerate the aquarium.
Cons
  • Without power.

So far so good!: Fish and aquatic animals

Many reviews say this stone does not release as much air as shown in the pictures, so good for me. A couple of notes though: if you use a straight-through connection (you can connect the incoming air on one side and another tube to another vent on the other) you won't get as many air bubbles. So keep this in mind, it seems like a lot of air is going through the other tube, sacrificing its own usefulness. But if it's the only stone you'll have, great!

Pros
  • Creates a continuous tower of bubbles to aerate your aquarium
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Good bubbles in a very short time

I installed this 5 1/2" hose on my tank just over a month ago. Now only half of the bar produces bubbles. It was great while it lasted, but having to replace it every time I empty my 55-gallon tank makes it too expensive. Will have to look for other brands. Most of the Penn Plax Air Stones I've bought recently just don't last very long. They are made in China so what I bought may be fake or they just don't make good quality anymore. The pet shops around me seem to only sell this brand and I…

Pros
  • Uses standard 3/16" hose connector
Cons
  • Some minor things

Bladder! best air pump accessory

My 10 gallon aquarium had an oily film on the surface that the filter couldn't clean. I ordered a 5 1/2" Aqua Mist rock along with a Tetra Whisper 10 air pump. It works great and creates bubbles all over the place (should be flat). It's quite heavy and has edges that you can gravel while you hold it in place (it can be placed completely under the gravel but mine is flush with the surface of the gravel) all day and the water is crystal clear has never looked so good the fish are looking…

Pros
  • Durable plastic can be buried or hidden to add decorations
Cons
  • Easily torn
