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?

So I used it to siphon the water instead and works great. Price i got it for makes it an easy 5 star
Durability is key when it comes to airline tubing, and the Penn-Plax tubing doesn’t disappoint. It’s remarkably sturdy and resistant to kinking, which is a common issue with other brands. This means that I can trust it to maintain a consistent flow of air to my aquarium, ensuring a healthy environment for my fish.
One of the standout features of this tubing is its versatility. It’s safe for use in both freshwater and saltwater tanks, making it a suitable choice for various aquatic setups. This flexibility ensures that I won’t need to replace it if I decide to switch from a freshwater to a saltwater tank or vice versa.
The clear design is also a plus, as it allows me to easily monitor the flow of air and check for any potential issues. This transparency gives me peace of mind, knowing that everything is running smoothly.
In conclusion, the Penn-Plax Standard Airline Tubing for Aquariums is a top-quality product that I highly recommend to fellow aquarium hobbyists. Its durability, flexibility, and suitability for various tank types make it a wise investment. If you want reliable airline tubing for your aquarium, look no further. This product is a winner.
The price can’t be beat and the tubing works great after the initial struggle, but if you don’t mind spending a few more cents for ease of use, pick a different brand.
Second round, not a couple weeks later I received a totally different product. It doesn't easily fit on anything. If I do wiggle it on anything it doesn't go up very far on. I'm left with the tubing barely attached which is very uncomfortable. It got so bad trying to attach this to a gang valve that I would put a one way valve towards the end attaching to the valve then attach a piece of the flexible hose onto the other side of the one way then attach to the valve. Since the hose was super difficult to squeeze side by side onto the valve this method worked better.
I need consistency, i'm building out additional tanks and changing things constantly. I'm more than happy to spend a little more on a consistent product... now I have to go try other products out hoping to find something like the original tubing I got here.
No kidding I literally thought I ordered a different product and checked my orders to see that no, I indeed used "buy again" to order. Very frustrating, this added a lot of work to the fish room.
HINT TO MAKE USEABLE
Hint to not toss this stuff...I try not to waste stuff so I figured out with a little heat I could shove a small chopstick iin there. As the chopstick increases in size I could slightly expand the end while it was warm. I used my hot air gun for arts and crafts. Hope this helps someone!
