bOrb Aquarium | No air bubbles? | But air pump works!

If this video was helpful to you, and you would really like to support my Channel, you can do so very easily by buying me a coffee here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/markbstepbo

This video covers the situation where a biOrb doesn't have an airflow running through the tank even though the air pump is fully working.

The video covers....
The main causes that result in this issue
How to fix the problem
How to avoid it happening again.

Other reasons for a reduced or a lack of air flow:
Check that your air stone isn't overly dirty and clogged-up. This can impede air flow into the tank.
If the issue isn't to do with water stuck in the airline then it is very likely to be a problem with your air pump itself. Even though an air pump might sound like it is working perfectly, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has sufficient ability to blow air.

My suggestions...
Always have a spare air pump just in case the one you use suddenly stops working: https://amzn.to/3EX5EwH
If replacing your airline make sure you get one that is the right diameter (5mm) and has a stop valve. I suggest you get an official biOrb replacement air line: included: https://amzn.to/45sCwIN
To reduce high airflow from your air pump (see my video on "Too many bubbles"), just get a cheap air flow regulator and add it to you biOrb airline (5 mm): https://amzn.to/46bvadM
Get a cheap bicycle pump (including an "airbed adapter" suitable that is for insertion into a biOrb airline). The one I have can be purchased here: https://amzn.to/45hAGKu
