I found the Hagen Air Curtain to be a better product 
| Installation and Operation |
This is an easy product to install, just clip on the suction cups and insert the end into the air hose. I did find the suction cups had a limited lifespan. After a few months they became hardened and so lost their suction power, at which point it wanted to float.

| Performance vs. Expectations |
I use these in my freshwater tanks as part of the aquascape. I like to put them under the rock so the bubbles rise up out of the gravel. Normally I like them just under the surface because then it only needs a small air pump. Once the suction cups went on this I had to really bury it deep to keep it from floating and when I did that the bubbles would hardly come up so I had to put on a bigger pump.
I also found that it quickly became clogged with detritus and needed cleaning. This might not be as big a pain for you, as it was for me. Like I mentioned, I kept them under the rock so I had to sort of dig it up and rebury it.
As mentioned in the title I ended up buying the Hagen version of this and found it to be a much better product.

| Value for money |
Though this wasn't an expensive product, cheaper than the Hagen version, it wasn't worth it because it clogged and the suction cups failed.

Do not use with sand subsitrate.

| Liked about it |
I liked how thin and easily hidden it was. I liked the amount of bubbles it released. I liked how evenly it spread the bubbles.
|
| Didn't like |
In sand the bubbles constantly uncover the tube. The suction cups did not keep their hold.
