Bubble Wall Help

[Scott_T_27]

Hi

I have been trying to set up a bubble wall across the back of my tank but not having much success.
I have tried about 4 different air stone bars but these don't seem to work, either the bubble just come out of half the air stone or just get a stream of big bubbles from one section of the stone?
So then I tried a tube type, instead of air stone, which I purchased from my LFS. This was a clear tube that suckered to the glass will holes all the way along. When I got it home and got it out the packet I thought I was on to a winner. But when I connected to the pump i only got bubbles from about 3 or 4 of the holes the tube had about 30 in it! I tried adjusting the angle as thought that may have affected te air flow but still no joy. So for now I have reverted back to an air stone, but don't want to let the bubble wall defeat me!

Can anyone suggest a product they have used and know works, or maybe think of something that I may be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
Scott

this means there is not enough airflow.....your air pump is not powerful enough

+1. I was just going to ask about that. If the flow is sufficient you shouldn't have a problem getting air all the way through.

Thanks for the response. I'll have a look at purchasing a new air pump see if that works, cheers
