airstone

Tank oxygen diffuser

An airstone is a porous block or cylinder attached to an aquarium air pump, releasing a stream of fine bubbles into the water.

The bubbles increase oxygen exchange at the surface and create gentle water movement.

Airstones are standard equipment in fish tanks and hydroponic systems: The airstone keeps the water oxygenated for the fish.
