Highlighted Reviews
"This product is VERY GOOD quality, but I got the small size, and its HUGE! But it's still very useable."
"This item is listed in sizes small, medium and large. But that is very deceiving as the small size I ordered was the size of a tennis ball and not the quarter size I usually get at the pet store. I think the actual dimensions of each one should be stated on the product page."
Bottom Line
The EcoPlus Round Air Stone performs well but has significant sizing and attachment issues. If you have a larger tank and aren't concerned about size, it's a functional option. However, for smaller tanks or those looking for an easy-to-fit air stone, consider other alternatives.
