1.5V Marine Metal Aerator Bubble Box - Oxygenation for Aquariums and Ponds

Chris LChris L: Runs as advertised. The metal (lead) wire, I'm assuming is a weight for the tube, I guess is only heavy enough to keep the end from leaving the water? The tube's springiness keeps it from sitting deeper. The crabs seemed fine and well active enough.

I like that it can run on either a single D battery OR a pair of them.

The bubbler does make a humming noise that can be distracting if indoors and you have it on nearby. Outdoors wasn't an issue for me.

I band it up in its packaging for protective storage in my backpack, keeping the hose from entanglement.

Steve & Kelli: It is noisy, but worked great while moving my fish several hours to our new spot I used it again when we had power outages due to weather. Fish are still happy and healthy! Just remember to remove the battery between uses so it doesn’t corrode.

Tara Ryan: This is the 2nd one I’ve purchased . Had the first one for 2 years and it’s still running. The battery compartment can hold 2 D size batteries, but we’ve gotten by with only having to use one. Runs a long time. We fish constantly with this, so it gets a work out.

GulfBreeze: Yep - this bubble box does the job perfectly. Keeps my shrimp alive and well all day. I use two Duracell D size batteries and this bubble box never skips a beat. When the day is done, I take a few minutes to clean it up, dry it out and remove the batteries. Put everything back together and in a plastic ziplock bag for next time. FYI: For a sturdy re-usable bait bucket, I use an empty 25lb bucket used previously for pool chlorine tablets. It has a great screw on lid and a good handle. I drill some holes in the lid for air and an extra hole for the bubbler hose. Hang the bubble box on the outside of the bucket with the clip that comes with it, screw on the bucket lid - and you're good to go. Before using a chlorine bucket for the first time, be sure to clean it out real good with soap and water. And leave it out in the sun for a day to dry and burn off any residual chlorine. Ask for 'extra bait water' when you buy your bait. The extra volume will help your bait last longer. Great bubble box. Bought two. Gave one to a friend. Highly recommend.

saf4amazon: These little bubblw box units work nice and keep bait alive all day. I always double pump my bait in a 5 gallon bucket even though one pump should be enough it's good redundancy in case one fails or battery runs out. I also only use one battery at a time as it's easier to keep track of old batteries and know when to change out. The other thing is to remove battery after each use and thoroughly dry the case and contacts. This will prevent the contacts from rusting and prolong their life. Marine Metal says the contacts are beryllium copper but they rust so something not right. Copper don't rust. That said, they're still the best bang for the buck.
