Bubbler tubing allows the diffusing area to be extended along a chosen length, giving you more freedom over where bubbles are produced within the reservoir.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      This makes bubbler tubing a useful option for long tanks, larger reservoirs and unusual layouts where several fixed air stones would otherwise be needed to spread aeration across the available space.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"product__usage\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eHow to use 4mm Bubbler Tubing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Cut the bubbler tubing to the required length for your reservoir or aeration layout. Connect one end to a compatible airline supply from a suitably sized air pump, using the appropriate connector where required.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      Seal the opposite end with a compatible stop end so that the incoming air is forced through the porous wall of the tubing.

When connected to an air pump and submerged, air escapes through the tubing wall to create bubbles along its length.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/article\u003e\n\n    \u003carticle\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eDoes bubbler tubing replace an air stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Yes, it can. The porous tubing itself acts as the diffuser, so a separate air stone is not required at the end of the bubbler section.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/article\u003e\n\n    \u003carticle\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eWhat size is this bubbler tubing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The tubing has a 4mm internal diameter and approximately 9mm external diameter.

One of the main advantages of bubbler tubing is that it can be cut to create an aeration section suited to the reservoir or hydroponic system being built.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/article\u003e\n\n    \u003carticle\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eDo I need to seal the end of bubbler tubing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Yes. The far end should be closed with a compatible stop end so that the supplied air is forced through the porous tubing rather than escaping freely from the open end.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/article\u003e\n\n    \u003carticle\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eCan I use bubbler tubing in a hydroponic reservoir?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Yes. It is particularly useful for hydroponic reservoirs because the tubing can be positioned to distribute bubbles across a wider area of nutrient solution.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/article\u003e\n\n    \u003carticle\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eIs bubbler tubing suitable for DWC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Yes.

Longer diffuser runs need a greater air supply than short sections, so the pump should be sized for the complete setup.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/article\u003e\n\n    \u003carticle\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eCan I make a custom-shaped air diffuser with bubbler tubing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Yes.
