Air hose setup

[Petre Huile]

I tried to set up an air hose with 2 outlets at the back of my tank. I
tried to bury the hose under the gravel and only leave the sir stone
and the other valve exposed. However, I was not able to do this
successfully. The hose keep wanting to float out of the gravel. I
suppose I can feep it down by placing 2 rocks one on each end of the
hose. Is this the only way I can do it? And what happens when I clean
the gravel and have to move the rocks/gravel?

Any advice is very welcomed.

Thanks,
Petre

bottom. Ingrid

If you want to bury the airline hose and not the airstones/bubble
wand/whatever, you can buy airline holder suction cups from almost any LFS.
They are small, unobtrusive, and do the job. A pack of six suction cups can
cost $2 - $3, depending on the store.
