koshii answered Sunday July 17 2005, 8:03 pm: Depends on what pump you're talking about, and what stone, but all the Airstones I've seen seem to work the same way. You should have a small air pump (they're usually blue, and come with the airstone), the stone itself, and a long bit of clear tubing. One end of the tube goes on the pump and the other end goes on the nozzle of the airstone. The pump, being plugged in, pushes air through the tube and into the airstone, where it comes out the porous stone and oxygenates the tank.
Considering that this pump is plugged into electricity, I would think it's a horrible idea to put it into the water. I hope you weren't thinking about doing that...? [ koshii's advice column | Ask koshii A Question ]
