    Default Looking for a good air diffuser wand

    can any one recommend a good air wand? i am looking for something at least 18 inches long. i have 2 from petco, 18 and 24 inch. but every time i clean-off the algae, i get larger bubbles from the material i dislodge from the bar. i like a uniform curtain of bubbles at the back of the tank.

    thanks,
    jim

    I've tried several in my African tank and the ones I use are the blue stone kind. The wands tend to clog or won't stay put.

    I just got some of the penn plax ones for my community tank. They are super cheap and produce a very fine bubble. They are more like a stone instead of the rubber type wands you see that clog.

    Here is what I got. They seem really thin but when hooked up to my dual outlet hydrofarm pump it produces a solid fine mist all the way across the back of my planted tank

    thanks
