Quality and Material

• "I don’t know why so many negative reviews on this product?! I powered up a sponge filter with this tubing and it is working great!"

• "This aquarium tubing was exactly what I need. It fit my air pump very nicely and rarely comes loose!"

• "It's just okay and does what it's intended to but do not buy this if you need it to be straight."

• "It can be a bit frustrating to get it on since it bends easily when you are trying to make a tight connection."
• "The tube was packed in such a way that caused it to be pinched in several places."
• "Very thin cheap hose. I do not consider this standard aquarium hose."
• "It's very thin tubing."

Value and Cost

• "Good value seemed to be a little bit cheaper than that in the hardware store and a lot cheaper than the local pet store near me."
• "Works well and is standard size. Great price."

• "Length is great."

Cons:

• "I only get burned once per company."
• "Do not buy."
• "Don't waste your money."

• "This product is practically useless. Waste of money."
• "This is definitely not standard size tubing!"
