Airstone 300x50mm

Cylinder air stone for aeration, aquaculture quality, large size 300mm x 50mm with a 5.5mm and 9.5mm nipple.

This 300mm x 50mm cylinder air stone with 5/9mm hosetail. Made with Carborundum at a temperature of 1500℃ allows an air flow rate of 30L/min and creates  bubbles of 300-500 microns.

Airstones are used in aquaculture and fish tanks for a variety of purposes, including:

• Oxygenating the water: Airstones add oxygen to the water, which is essential for the survival of fish and other aquatic life. This is especially important in large tanks or tanks with high fish populations, where the oxygen levels can become depleted.
• Circulating the water: The bubbles produced by airstones help to circulate the water in the tank, which helps to distribute oxygen throughout the water column and prevent stagnant areas. This can help to keep the water clean and free of harmful bacteria.
• Adding turbulence: The turbulence created by airstones can help to add interest to the tank and make it more visually appealing. It can also help to prevent fish from getting lazy or lethargic.
• Reduce stress: The sound of air bubbles can be calming for fish and can help to reduce stress levels. This is especially important for fish that are kept in tanks with high noise levels.
• Improving filtration: Airstones can help to improve the filtration in a tank by increasing the surface area of the water that is exposed to air. This can help to remove harmful toxins and gases from the water.

Overall, airstones are a valuable tool for aquaculture and fish tank owners. They can help to keep the water oxygenated, circulated, and clean, which can all contribute to the health and well-being of the fish.

Here are some additional tips for using airstones in aquariums:

• Choose the right size airstone for your tank. A larger airstone will produce more bubbles and oxygenate the water more effectively, but it may also be louder.
• Place the airstone in a strategic location in the tank. You want to make sure that the bubbles are evenly distributed throughout the water column.
• Adjust the air flow to your liking. You can do this by adjusting the valve on the air pump or by changing the size of the airstone.
• Monitor the water quality regularly. Airstones can help to improve water quality, but they cannot do it all. You should still test the water regularly for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels.

By following these tips, you can use airstones to create a healthy and thriving environment for your fish.
