25 Feet Deep Jungle Black Flexible Airline Tubing for Aquariums, Terrariums, and Hydroponics (25 Feet)

I use this tubing for an air pump in my deep water culture setup. It is flexible and works very well for me.

I've been using air line tubing for 36 years and this is the best I've ever had. It's super soft and flexible. Plus black = no algae.

First the pros. Pure silicon has a very nice feel. Very soft and flexible unlike traditional clear plastic air line. It's great to work with. Now the one and only con (but it's a temporary con). If you can imagine for a minute the production of this air line. It's going to be extruded out and cooled, cut and wound in individual lengths, wrapped in a thin piece of cardboard, and sent to you. When you receive it, leave it outside. You don't have to unwind it. Just leave it out on the porch or something for a day or two. Because it will be one of the most vile odors you've ever had to deal with in your mailbox. But it's just the residual smell of production and being sent straight to you. It will dissipate and all will be well.

Deep Jungle Black Flexible air line is my new go-to airline for my aquariums. I have been using this airline for more than 60 days and now have a total of about 40 feet of it in use. It is flexible and easy to work with, and less buoyant than other airlines I have used, so it requires less to secure in the tank and stays in place better than others I have used. The black color is less noticeable in the aquarium than the clear or blue colors, so it is easier to hide. It has remained flexible so far and has not discolored, but I do use RO water (very low in mineral content) in my tanks, which may be part of the reason. Not the cheapest airline available, but well worth the price.  50 feet Deep Jungle Black Flexible Airline Tubing for Aquariums, Terrariums, and Hydroponics (50 Feet)

I like the fact that it is Silicon. Would buy again.

The upside is that this looks great with the black background of my tank. It blends right in and disappears. The downside is that this tubing is pretty soft, and it blows off of a standard CO2 system and standard glass diffuser with 40-50 pounds of working pressure. I used small zip-ties to solve the problem, fixing them just below the ridge of the diffuser.Just to be clear, it wasn't just the diffuser that it blew off of. It was every connection, including the check valve (both sides). I'm still giving this 4 stars because of the looks and ease of use. Using small zip-ties doesn't bother me, but I wanted you to know about it in case it bothers you.

Works overall- good price, very black/ should prevent algae, soft, feels like decent quality silicone.Main issue is you have to be careful with kinks- the tubing isn't very thick, so a small 90 degree angle will completely cut off air, so can only have very slight bends (or use a lot more material).Also fairly smelly at first, you have to wash it out with a decent amount of water. Not smelly like stinmk up a room, but like 6 inches from it, smells strong.Overall I would buy it again, but would prefer to find the same hose, just slightly thicker/ more material.

The air hose is not that flimsy, brittle plastic stuff. This hose is a thick, pliable rubber feeling hose. It has good elasticity as well as rigidness. It feels like it will continue to work for a very long time without nay problems. I do recommend this product to anyone looking to put together a reliable air stone system in their aquarium(s).

Awesome
