Air Pipe Roll (Per Metre)
An air pipe roll (airline tubing) is very useful during aquarium cleaning because:
1. For Siphoning/Water Changing
Airline pipe is often used to create a gentle siphon when:
-
Cleaning small aquariums
-
Removing debris from substrate
-
Doing water changes in shrimp tanks or fry tanks
It removes dirt slowly and safely without sucking up small fish or babies.
2. For Precision Cleaning
The thin pipe lets you:
-
Target small corners
-
Clean between plants
-
Remove waste from delicate areas
-
Clean nano tanks easily
3. Prevents Disturbing the Aquascape
Because the pipe is thin:
-
It does not uproot plants
-
Does not disturb sand patterns
-
Removes only detritus, not gravel
4. Great for Shrimp & Fry Tanks
Airline tubing is the safest method for cleaning tanks with:
-
Shrimp
-
Guppy fry
-
Rasbora fry
-
Betta fry
The slow suction prevents accidental harm.
5. Easy to Control the Flow
You can pinch the tube to:
-
Start or stop the siphon instantly
-
Adjust the flow rate
-
Avoid flooding or spilling
