The air supply in the aquarium is really incredibly important. Without a good oxygen supply, it can be tight for shrimp and fish, especially at night, when the plants do not produce oxygen, but also consume it.
A good supply of oxygen is also vital in hot weather. Especially warm water can absorb much less oxygen and at high temperatures in summer sometimes the air in the aquarium is literally scarce. Then a bubbling stone provides a quick remedy.
But not only the oxygen supply can be realized with an air pump, but also an absolutely shrimp-friendly filtration: that with an airlift filter with sponge cartridge. Here the rising air bubbles pull the water upwards with them.
For the air supply you need a hose and an air pump as well as some small parts like air chickens, T-pieces or hose holders. These useful little helpers can be found in this category of our online store for purchase.
If you want to operate more than one aquarium with only one air pump, a T-piece is indispensable. With the T piece you divide the air supply coming from the pump into two hoses. Simply attach the air hose and connect it ... you can start supplying air to the aquarium. Even more comfort offers you here a 2 way metal air chicken. Here you can close each side separately, so it is also possible to supply only one aquarium with a bubbling stone, while the other is temporarily shut down.
Air co cks are also useful for ring lines for several tanks or entire aquarium systems that are supplied with air by a more powerful compressor pump. This allows you to easily shut off the air supply to a single tank, for example, for cleaning or for reinstalling a filter or bubbling stone, or ... or ... or ...
Self-adhesive hose clamps allow you to fix the air hose to the aquarium glass so that it doesn't lie around unsightly or stick out in some weird way and spoil the look of your aquarium.
