How to work a bubble stone ?

Question

how do you work a bubble stone i have a small fish tank with 3 goldfish and bought a bubble stone but what else do i need to work it ?

Answer 1

         You'll need an air pump that fits your aquarium size, airline tubing (I recommend clear silicone), and preferably a check valve, which keeps the water from backing up into the air pump during a blackout. If you end up getting more than one airstone, then you'll also have to get an air diverter, which will divide the air flow to two or more airstones. All of this stuff is pretty cheap.

Answer 2

You need an air pump.

I love the Whisper models.

They sit off of the surface of whatever you have them on so they don't vibrate and make a bunch of noise.

When you get that, it plugs in and you hook up an airline tube [sold in pet stores and walmarts everywhere] and there is a spot on the air stone that you attach the other end of the tube to.

Voila.

Answer 3

You need airline tubing and a pump.   You also need a 40 gallon tank for 3 goldfish to live a healthy life.

Answer 9

Easy peasy stuff. Here's what you'll need;

- An airstone (which you've got)

- Some air line (thin plastic tubing)

- An air pump (a simple small appliance that pumps air)

- OPTIONAL A one-way valve

Ok... Let's run through how to get it started

1. Connect your air pump to a mains socket.

2. Poke your air line, with one end into the air pump

3. Poke the other end into your air stone

4. Dunk the air stone into your aquarium and turn the pump ON.

TIP: I'm a professional goldfish breeder, and here's a valuable tip: DON'T WORRY ABOUT GETTING EXPENSIVE AIR PUMPS, A BASIC ONE LASTS JUST AS LONG, AND GIVES OUT ADEQUATE AIR!

Best of luck
