Can I use this in an outdoor pond?
Yes, the 10cm disc is suitable for ponds, provided the connected air pump is designed for outdoor use.
How often should I clean the air disc?
It is recommended to clean the stone whenever you notice a significant decrease in bubble output, typically every few months.
Which airline size does it support?
The device includes connections for both standard 4mm and larger 8mm airline tubing.
Is the disc safe for all fish?

Troubleshooting
Weak or uneven bubble flow
Check the airline tubing for kinks or blockages and ensure the air pump is functioning at full capacity.
Air disc moving around the bottom
Ensure the disc is placed on a flat, level surface and verify that any excess tubing isn't pulling on the connection port.
Reduced bubble size/volume over time
Biofilm or mineral deposits may be clogging the ceramic pores. Soak the disc in a specialized air stone cleaner or a diluted vinegar solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Betta Air Disc, firmly attach your 4mm or 8mm airline tubing to the corresponding intake port on the side of the disc. Place the unit on the substrate or floor of the tank and secure it to ensure it remains flat. For care, keep the ceramic surface clean to maintain bubble quality. If you notice a reduction in output, soak the stone in a mild cleaning solution or use a soft brush to remove biofilm and algae buildup. Ensure your air pump is rated for the size of your tank to achieve the best flow rates.
