AERATION AND SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS

These are the general fittings and accessories that could come in handy.

SILICON HOSE

Inexpensive and very useful item. Various colors are now available, such as transparent, blue, black, and green.

CONNECTORS

They are small functional plastic parts that provide us the flexibility to make several air outputs from air pumps to tanks. The Y shape provides two outputs, while the cross-type gives three. I love to mix and match these connectors.

Other fittings that can come in handy are air controllers (clamp and valve types), multiple outlets with or without air controllers, check valves, and air stones (wood, ceramic, and plastic) that come in different shapes and sizes.

Accessories that come in handy include decors (such as stones and a resin base), fish nets (rectangle-shaped ones are good for square or rectangular tanks), thermometers, and artificial plants.
