better quality than expected but a couple millimeters too narrow to connect to standard water pump pipe. (my fault should’ve measure and looked at descriptions more carefully)
So I used it to siphon the water instead and works great. Price i got it for makes it an easy 5 star

Basic Necessity for Aquarists and Hobbyists
As aquarists and fish-keeping hobbyists know, it’s always good to have extra airline tubing on hand. Our Standard 3/16” Airline Tubing offers a great solution for various aquarium airline needs, such as connecting an air pump to an air stone, an under-gravel filter, or an aquarium ornament.
Our Airline Tubing is built to withstand wear and tear. The tubing’s flexibility makes it a breeze to work with. It fits seamlessly in any home aquarium, and virtually disappears in the water!

Choose Between Standard and Deluxe Airline Tubing
Our Aquarium Airline Tubing offers a great solution for various aquarium airline needs, such as connecting an air pump to an air stone, an under-gravel filter, or an aquarium ornament. They’re designed and tested to be safe for freshwater and saltwater tanks.
Standard:
- Comes in 3 lengths: 8 feet, 25 feet, and 500 feet. They’re made from durable plastic that’s ultra- clear, which virtually disappears when in water. This tubing is resistant to cracking, and should provide months of maintenance free use.
Deluxe:
- Comes in 3 lengths: 8 feet, 20 feet, and 200 feet. They’re made from flexible silicone. The light green hue also virtually disappears when in water. This tubing will never harden, crack, or kink, making it the easiest airline tubing to use.
Having Issues Connecting to Aquarium Accessories?
- For better connection, soak both ends of the Airline Tubing in warm water for 30 seconds. This will allow the ends to stretch more when connecting with a tight fit.

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2016
This is great tubing! It is stronger than a lot of tubing, making it great for when you want to bury it under gravel (makes the tank look a lot cleaner). Also, if you are like me and don't want to drill your tank, some tubing must go out the top of your tank. This tubing does a great job of disappearing in your tank (you have to look for it to see it), especially when put in the corner and covered by a plant/bubbler. I made the mistake of using blue tubing in a previous aquarium and it always drew the eye. This tubing can fit the standard aquarium connectors, you just have to really push it on. This is a good thing because that means it won't slip off! Yes, it WILL fit standard air stone connectors and everything (even though other reviewers said it won't...). Some advice for laying down air lines:- If you are burying it, put it down and test it before putting the gravel in. Burying it after is extremely difficult.- Use some suction cups to hold everything in place.- When adding gravel, remove the water first, as air tubing will float.- Always use stop check valves with tubing systems so that water won't siphon back into the air pump. The best place to insert this valve is behind the tank.- When using splitters, use the same length tubing coming out of each port, even if it isn't necessary. This will prevent one of your air stones being much stronger than the rest.- Always order about double what you expect to use. This stuff is cheap and it's REALLY irritating when you have to wait (again) for more tubing before you can set up your aquarium.

I had to use a bit more force to fit it into some of the accessories (compared to when using my other tubing), but after that there was no problem. To me it’s not that big of deal considering how cheap the price was.
In the pictures you can see this item is the one that has a smaller diameter.
