I notice that sections of my bubblewall thingee don't have bubbles coming thru it. It is a 4 foot long bendable one. I took it out and wiped it off, thinking maybe it clogged up somehow. I just put it back in, but still several long spaces have no bubbles! Wonder if poking a few tiny holes would be a good idea? Anyone ever done that?

Is it a new bubble wall? If the pump isnt powerful enough then the last section might not be getting enough air pushed through though most of the big sizes have the option of using pumps at both ends.

I got that bubble wall too, and the bubbles does come out uneven. I tried poking a few holes and it helps a bit but not much.

Am assuming you guys mean an air curtain (bubblewall) or that what it sounds like to me as I have a bendable air curtain.The holes do clog up over time.To help clear mine I soak it in Hot water but not too hot for about half an hour then using an old toothbrush I gently brush along the curtain which helps clear the holes.Then rinse it through.Its as good as new.Well it works for me anyway.

To test to see if its the pump or the bubble wall just disconnect it from the pump and blow in to it as hard as you can and see how the bubbles come out. If it the same then its the bubble wall and if its better then the pump is either not strong enough or is clogged.

Ok Thanks guys! I am gonna try the scrubbing & soaking thing..........I don't know about stickin' that thang in MY mouth and blowing air thru it! I love my goldfish but ya' gotta draw the line somewhere!

Well, GREAT ADVICE! I soaked it in hot water after I cleaned it real good! Now I have 4 foot of bubbles!! Hundreds of bubbles!! Yippee!!

Glad it worked for you jeana727.Works for me everytime

A hydrogen peroxide soak works well, also.

I am happy to know yours is working again. Now come on over to my place and figure out why my various air features are sluggish and not working right! Pluuueeese!

Haha, you weren't supposed to stick the bubble wall in your mouth but the air line tubing that is hooked up to the air pump But I'm glad you got it to work

Whew! I was worried about ya' there for a minute!

I wouldn't think that it would hurt u as long as u don't swallow, and as long as u use mouthwash after.

Daryl, my list of things I would love to do would DEFINATELY be to go to your house & help you with your tanks! Then we could sit & talk GOLDFISH!! I'm SURE we would have a blast!!

2nd I repeat I L O V E my goldies, but would not, could not stick something from the tank in MY mouth I keep my tank real clean........but ya' know they do pee-pee & (well you know) IN THE WATER! So thank goodness the soakin' scrubbin' thang worked out!!!
