Cheap but somewhat effective

Worked for a few months, bought 4. Canister cleaned and inlet valve broke off the aeroston. No pressure or force was applied. I appreciate their willingness to contact me and fix things.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Zero

Great diffuser! about aquarium pumps and filters

I bought this for a bait tank and hooked it up to a Vivosun 950 gph air pump and installed a 1/4 inch ball valve to control airflow. This thing can blow bubbles. and good circulation to the tank (55 gallon keg) The bladders are nice and small and I know it's overkill for my setup but with a valve to control the airflow it works great for my needs!

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Volume

Terrible quality 50% defective

I recently placed an order for 4 of these, 2 arrived faulty and had leaks. first photo on the left. It feels like they are made by 5 year olds who can't properly test the product. I will never buy Vivosun again. This quality is terrible. Basically, you have a 50% chance of getting a bad air stone from them. So please buy elsewhere.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Good but not great

High quality air stone. Ideal for 5-7 gallon buckets

Ideal for brewing compost tea (microbial tea). I use 7 gallon buckets and the 4 inch air stone seems to fit perfectly without kinking the air hose. Too large a diameter would cause the air hose to run at a 90 degree angle and restrict some of the airflow capacity. These air stones are fairly easy to clean and can be used for a variety of purposes such as hydroponics, aquaponics or just the aquarium in general. We will definitely buy more!

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • No capacity

Great for anglers! Away with the old stone!

Hey fisherman, are you tired of that crappy aerator that does next to nothing? Switch to it! My size is 4 inches and it fits perfectly in a 5 gallon bucket. Even more bubbles! Sucks comfortably to the bottom of a CLEAN bucket. No sand etc. otherwise it won't stick. It would be nice to fill it with epoxy. Great product and great price. Works perfectly with a standard two cell D aerator. Haven't tested it with anything smaller but it will certainly work. The results depend on the size of your…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Damaged

The suction cup does not match the picture. Malfunction.

Unfortunately neither of the two stones I ordered fit: They had noticeable glue on the plastic sides, one stone even had traces of glue on the active side. Air escaped through the sides, not through the stone. I assume that is why the adhesive was applied to the defective product, but this issue has not been resolved. I also had a couple of suction cups as expected in the picture. Instead I got a double sided suction cup which failed to hold the stone securely in place.

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Weight

Good product: Fish & Aquatic Pets

The only reason I give this product 3/5 is because there are areas on the back where the bubbles don't go. You see an explosion of air/bubbles escaping throughout the stone, but it's really just the surrounding edges that are allowing air to escape and creating a ring of bubbles, so it's a bit misleading. Also, this product turned out to be larger than I expected, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. On the plus side, my fish love it. My pregnant guppy (Blueberry) loves to sneak up to where the

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • So-so

. It releases more air with a small pump than cylindrical vents, but seems to produce less with more powerful pumps (about 15 l/min for each vent, cylinders release more bubbles). The other main benefit is that it doesn't rotate like cylinders. So if you have a low air pump (4L/min) or a large area you want the air stone to stay in the center, this is better. If you have an air pump with a higher airflow (>15 l/min) and you don't care if the vent moves, cylindrical shaped vents are cheaper…

Pros
  • . Robust surface.
Cons
  • . Has defects.
