A different way to weigh down a bubbler

[Otterwoman]

I'm setting up a number of egg tanks with bubblers, and instead of tying them to a decoration or putting them under a rock and having them come out all the time, I had this idea to weigh it down with one of the many small clay pots I have laying around to use for this and that.
I'll let the pictures say 1000 words.

The pots mostly have holes big enough for the air line, and when it ws a little tight, I easily enlarged it a bit by twisting a knife in there.

That is such a great idea, I'll have to put that in my notes. Thank's !!!!

Neat! Turn the clay pot around the other way, and it can double as a hide-cave.

I like your solution better than mine, Dawn. I used aquarium silicone to glue together 3 rocks with a piece of tubing passing between them. It works, but your solution requires no glue, which is a big plus.

wow, that's dedicated! Those clay pots are cheap.

It used to drive me nuts when sponge filters would float when first placed in the water. Now I just leave them alone and after several days they become saturated enough to sink on their own. For airstones I just wedge them under a rock or piece of driftwood.

I just use a rubber band to attach a rock to the airstone. Works fine.
