Aqua Mist® Add-A-Stone Aerating Aquarium Ornaments

Aqua Mist® Add-A-Stone Aerating Aquarium Ornament, 10' longFish do better in water that is not stagnant, therefore, adding an airstone not only increases the oxygen content of the water, but gets the water moving in a circular current. Moving water keeps debris from lodging on the bottom, and keeps the aquarium ecosystem healthier. Therefore, I purchased two 6" stones and have one at each end of my 55 gallon tank. The bubbles are fine (smaller) and give the aquarium interest. The stones attach to standard hose and run off an air pump.

I had a cylindrical sort of sponge thingy that used to emit just one plume of bubbles and was taking up valuable room in the 2-foot tank for the 5 fishes in there. This one rests on the bottom of the tank and I had to secure it with a stone. It emits a stream across almost the entire length of the stone and it's beautiful. You can see more coming out of one end rather than the other. The kids love staring at the bubbles! We'll see how long it lasts. I know these stones tend to get clogged up after a while. I'll have to do some research to see what I can do for periodic maintenance.

I just received mine and I set it up in my 10G tank and ZERO bubbles. Seems like it doesn't breath at all. I tried to scratch the surface a little bit & washed it under the tap to remove any debris... No go.

Air Pump if good for upto 20g Tank. I'm amazed by reading the review that I'm the only one with no bubbles =((

This aquarium ornament doesn't work that well. Unlike in the picture, the bubbles don't come out in most places. Only a about 1/4 of it shoots out air bubbles.

I have recently set up a new 30 gallon tank with this stone (and a Tetra 77853 Whisper Air Pump, 40-Gallon). The pump works admirably, however the stone leaves a bit to be desired. As mentioned in other reviews, you may or may not get bubble distribution along the entire length of stone, despite what the image in its description looks like. Mine only bubbles from the first inch near the hose connection installed as directed without additional stones. I then tested it with the backup pump I ordered and a friend's rated for 60 gallon tanks with no major gains. In the end I've added a small length of tubing at the other hose connection point and capped it off there (for some reason this gets another inch or so of the stone working).

I can put up with this in my tank, but if I had known there was a good chance half the stone wouldn't output bubbles without having to rig it/modify the stone, I would have opted for something different.
