  • Exactly as described
It sure is a tube and it works like a tube and there is nothing wrong with it unless u don't want a tube

  • Thick Tubing With Slight Installation Learning Curve
The media could not be loaded. I've dealt with small plastic tubing in the past where the entry point of the tub seems way too small to fit the nozzle/nipple end of an air stone or pump, so is the case with this tubing… There's a reason that the tubings entry point is so tight… The reason being that the tubing is plastic/small for a better fit and fewer leaks... Your standard deluxe silicon tubing is wider for easy fitting, but eventually it starts leaking water because it won't stop stretching... I should know, that's why I purchased this plastic tubing as a replacement… So... to fix the issue with the tubing being so small/tight because it's plastic, and to help others having issues installing, I'll give you step-by-step instructions/plus a video attached: Note: Make sure you're tubing and the nozzle/nipple of your air stone or air pump/sponge bio filter, is completely dry for easy fitting/installation: 1) Pinch an inch right above the tip of the tubing. 2) While the tubing is still being pinched above the tip of the tub, start pushing it onto the nozzle/nipple end of your air stone or air pump. Pinch and push/pinch and push. 3) Stop pinching the tubing at this point. 4) Now, turn the tubing from left/right while pushing down on the nozzle/nipple for a tighter fit… That's it, you're done... Great thick tubing by the way.... I recommend this product for its length/affordability/tightness… (Click Bottom Video Link) Watch My Tubing/Fish Tank In Action!! : https://app.photobucket.com/u/BigA2Infinity/p/27b40853-ad32-45e4-8a44-aa386d74a0b4 ... show more

  • Works like advertised, but was a little shorter than I expected.
It works well, but it wasn't even taller than me (5.5ft) and I ordered the eight-footer. I needed to buy another one.

  • Great hose swap for air assist on a laser engraver!
I recently got a laser engraver with air assist, but the hose line they provided was so stiff it was causing safety issues with the travel of the unit. Swapped this in its place and the flexibility has made the unit less of a potential hazard and smoother operation.
