Bioscape Flexible Bubble Wall
One long, even curtain of bubbles instead of a single noisy stream. The Bioscape Flexible Bubble Wall is a bendable air diffuser strip, sold in 45cm, 60cm and 75cm lengths, that spreads a standard aquarium air pump's output along the back or base of the tank as a wide sheet of fine bubbles rather than one point source.
Key features
- Flexible strip — bends to trace the back or base of the aquarium, so the bubble curtain follows the shape of the tank rather than sitting in one spot.
- Three lengths — 45cm, 60cm and 75cm, sized to standard, mid-size and larger tanks.
- Surface agitation — the rising bubble column pulls water to the surface, which supports gas exchange alongside your filter's own flow.
- Trims to fit — can be cut down for a shorter run without needing an exact-length match to the tank.
Which one do I need?
| Length | SKU | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| 45cm | BIS100 | Small to standard tanks up to roughly 45cm wide |
| 60cm | BIS101 | Standard to mid-size tanks up to roughly 60cm wide |
| 75cm | BIS102 | Larger tanks, or run along the base for full-width coverage |
Setup and use
Connect to airline tubing from any standard aquarium air pump, and anchor along the glass with airline suction cups (sold separately). A longer bubble wall needs more air to run its full length evenly — if the far end runs quiet compared to the near end, a higher-output pump will even out the curtain.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for: freshwater and saltwater aquariums where extra surface movement or a decorative bubble curtain is wanted.
- Not suitable for: fish or invertebrates that prefer still water, and species sensitive to constant fine vibration or strong surface disturbance.
Care and maintenance
Mineral build-up can gradually block the fine pores; an occasional soak in fresh water and a gentle squeeze restores even bubbling. Replace once bubbling becomes patchy along the strip's length even after cleaning.
Warranty and delivery
Covered against manufacturing defects on arrival, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships as a standard parcel item. Requires a separate air pump and airline tubing, sold separately.
Common questions
Do I need a special air pump for this?
No — any standard aquarium air pump with airline tubing will run it. Larger lengths simply benefit from a higher-output pump to keep the bubble curtain even end to end.
Can I cut it to a custom length?
Yes, it can be trimmed shorter to fit a specific run. It can't be extended beyond its supplied length.
Will it work in a saltwater tank?
Yes, it's suited to both freshwater and saltwater use.
