Dear bros

Any inputs on the brand or type of airstone that gives best output so as to complement hiblow pumps better? Thanks for reading.

I like use those air stones that are blue n longish with both ends black plastic reinforcing it. Use for 3plus years still never disintegrate n have very even air bubbles. Though more expensive than average but good

Me too using that brand.

Any other brands that produce fine bubbles?

im using the blue stone set in green plastic type airstone, hooked up at both ends to my hiblow baby. so far so good. the bubbles are not exactly fine and small but good enough for me.

how abt those blue disc with black plastic surround it?
Do this type produce very fine bubbles??

I am using the hiblow pump with blue ceramic disc/black plastic back.
Very stable and the blue ceramic does not disintegrate easily.
Bubbles are not those fine type and it suits me very well.

IMO, air disc produces finer bubbles as compared to airstones.

Bro, if you concerned the air did not travel into the air stone evenly due to the bending of the air tube. You can use a "L" shape connector in between of your air stone and air tube.

I dont use air stone and I just connect SMC tubing fitting at the end. No micro bubbles but stronger areation
