By some reports, airstones begin to lose their effectiveness after about six weeks of use, though this varies depending on the mineral content of your water.
How often should you replace air stones?
It is recommended to change the air stone every three months in order to maintain proper functionality of your tank.
Why do air stones stop working?
The stones will gradually lose their effectiveness as the inside surfaces get clogged over time. Airstones with finer textures (sometimes marketed as “micropore” airstones) will break up the air into smaller bubbles and are more effective at dissolving air into the water, but they are also more susceptible to clogging.
