bubble tube

Calming water column

A bubble tube is a transparent cylinder filled with liquid through which air bubbles continuously rise, creating a mesmerizing visual effect.

Common in sensory rooms for children with autism or developmental disabilities, bubble tubes typically include colored lights that illuminate the rising bubbles: The therapy room had a bubble tube in the corner.

They're also used as decorative fixtures in bars, lounges, and home entertainment spaces.
