Product Information

Keeping a fish tank in good condition takes a fair amount of maintenance, and if you do decide to install an aquarium bubbler, you need to know that you will have to clean it from time to time to prevent the air holes from becoming clogged with algae and general detritus. Visible bubbles While these are essentially just long, narrow airstones, they are commonly referred to as bubble wands.

Note: If your protein skimmer requires fine bubbles to operate, limewood is exactly what you need. Just remember that you will need to change the airstone every 3-6 months because they will eventually clog in the salt water. Why isn’t your aquarium bubbler working properly? However, if the water is already well-oxygenated, the oxygen produced by your plants will leave the water and float to the water’s surface. Some fish species, including bettas and gouramis, are bubble nesters. These fish blow bubbles and attach them to the underside of plant leaves or in the corners of the tank at the water’s surface. Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store. One of the other primary reasons folks add air stones into an aquarium is to create more movement without creating strong currents in systems that need gentle movement.

7. Pearling Plants

The big deal about bubble wands is that you can bend and shape them to create whatever visual effect you want, from curtains of bubbles to interesting patterns and shapes. Some bubble wands offer you LED connectivity, too, so you can enjoy colorful effects in your tank. What are the benefits of using aquarium bubblers? The size of the bubbles depends on the coarseness of the airstone. A rough airstone will diffuse larger bubbles while a fine airstone will diffuse tiny bubbles that you can barely see. 2. Bubble wands

The final, and possibly most “traditional” style of aquarium air stone is the simple porous stone that simply looks like a disc. These provide a more concentrated collective of bubbles than most of the other styles. Tips for Installing Your Air Stone The bubbler produces a continuous curtain of smooth, tiny bubbles that are ideal for sensitive fish, such as bettas, and for shrimp that don’t enjoy a powerful flow. The bubbler is very stable once it’s installed; it’s washable and durable. However, if you have lots of dead algae in your tank, the bubbles could be caused by ammonia rather than air. Bubbles in your fish’s eye or under the skin could be caused by a serious condition called Gas Bubble disease. Exhausted this entire list and still can’t find the cause of the bubbles in your aquarium? It may actually be your fish at fault.

5. Excess Ammonia

Air bubbles rise to the water’s surface, break it up, and cause turbulence. This process helps the absorption of oxygen into the water. The bubbles are not what provides air, they pull water with them to the surface allowing oxygen exchange to take place. Simply place these bubblers on the end of your airline to fill your aquarium with bubbly goodness. 1. Airstones How did you deal with air bubbles in your aquarium? What caused them? Tell us your story in the comments box below. Well, each time you add more water, the surface level increases, and more bubbles are trapped. The newly trapped bubbles rise to the new surface level, leaving a line of the previously formed bubbles below. The Solution

There’s a good chance that there are bubbles in a Betta fish tank. One of the reasons for the bubbles forming is because Betta fish are bubble nesters. The male Betta fish would create a bubble nest on the surface of the water in preparation for a spawn. This means that a male Betta fish may regularly make a bubble nest, even if there are no female Betta fish nearby. These empty bubble nests can be removed, but it is not necessarily bad. In fact, a male Betta fish actively creating bubble nests is good since it reflects its good health. Most bubble wands come with suction cups to prevent them from floating around your aquarium. 3. Flexible bubble walls The enclosed connector allows additional bubble walls to be joined which instantly creates a spectacular wall of bubbles. When connecting air stones be sure to use a strong air pump. Air stones typically don’t produce many effects however you can buy airstones in different shapes, sizes which can produce ver cool looking bubbe effects. Bubble WandsMost aquarium bubblers are quite noisy, and that’s pretty offputting for many people, especially if the tank is in an office setting, a classroom, bedroom, or living room with a television. You connect the bubbler wand to an air pump and plug the lights into a power outlet. The two features operate independently, so you can have the bubbles without lights if you wish. The only downside to the product is that the lights don’t have an on/off switch. Whether you need an aquarium bubbler entirely depends on your setup. Many people use bubblers when creating a DIY equipment such as sponge filters– the bubbler is used to “drive” the filter, causing it to draw in water.
