HYGGER HG049 ACRYLIC AIR STONE DISC REVIEW

[@PAFishandTanks]

Nice job Daniel 👊

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thank you bud.

[@pelhamsaquatics]

Excellant review Daniel! The HG049looks like a nice aerator! Santa is watching! Loved that mate😂

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Haha... standard parenting tool. 😆 Thanks very much bud. Yeah I really like it. Nice to have something new in the hobby to get excited about.

[@bigmoncrief6071]

Thanks for the review but my aqua one air disc cost a fiver (£10 less than the hygger) and from what I can see it knocks out way more bubbles. Only downside is it's bright orange so I have to bury it in the substrate.

[@thehelpfulhobbyist5355]

Morning mate. I bought Medium sized Hygger double - sponge filters ×2. The filters are sold with bio ceramic media balls. Can't seem to find anymore of them online? Can you recommend a supplier?

[@DanielKeepingFish]

I remember having difficulty getting the smaller ones myself. Know what I did? Went into the local fish shop and bought the refill pouches of biomedia they sell for the Fluval Flex tanks. Can probably order them pretty cheap online buy I try to buy from local shops when I can and worked a charm.

[@HypnoticMilotic]

Hello! Just curious - can you rotate the air line connection? I have an air line system I’ve constructed that is parallel to the bottom of my tank and buried in the substrate. I’m thinking of ordering one of these but can’t quite tell if I’d be stuck with the positioning of the connection out of the box. 🧐

[@DanielKeepingFish]

I believe you can but if you're able to hold off I will check for you when I get home from work.

[@HypnoticMilotic]

@@DanielKeepingFish Thanks! I haven’t ordered quite yet. Would love to get a solid answer first.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

@Hypnotic yep you're all good. Just tested it there and it definitely does twist.

[@HypnoticMilotic]

@@DanielKeepingFish Thank you so much! Absolute legend. 👊

[@thehelpfulhobbyist5355]

Hello again mate. I'd like to setup an air curtain in the form of an air diffuser? Could you suggest an ideal one?

[@DanielKeepingFish]

I'm sorry mate I've never used an air curtain strip so would rather not recommend having never user one myself.

[@thehelpfulhobbyist5355]

@@DanielKeepingFish well I chose a Penn plan air stone curtain via ebay tonight. Just a case of trial and error?

[@DanielKeepingFish]

@@thehelpfulhobbyist5355 Penn Plax you mean? Got a pretty good name so hopefully you'll be pleased with what you went for. 👍

[@thehelpfulhobbyist5355]

@@DanielKeepingFish coincidentally a friend also suggested Penn Plax hence bought it via ebay. Thank you brother ❤️

[@maccrimbo]

Just got the 45mm version delivered and wanted to see it in action while I wait for the pump getting here. Great video 👍🏻

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Oh hey thanks. Hope you enjoy it. I'm still enjoying mine.

[@thehelpfulhobbyist5355]

Hi Daniel. My tank is 3 foot, so what size is best mate? Am I ok to use an Eheim 400 pump to power the disc? Btw, are there any discs which have LED lights built in you can recommend???

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Think I'd be going for the medium size one on a tank like that mate and yeah the Eheim should be fine I imagine. Can't say I've ever used one with LEDs built in to suggest one I'm afraid but a nice idea for sure. Do you watch Jack and Dan's channel. They come up with pretty neat lighting ideas for their tanks. Bet a few of their builds would interest you. Here's their link: youtube.com/@jackanddan9778

[@thehelpfulhobbyist5355]

@@DanielKeepingFish Just looked on amazon. Only 2 inch size available? If medium then is that the 4 inch version or 45 mm (medium size)???

[@DanielKeepingFish]

@@thehelpfulhobbyist5355 60mm is the medium. I can see all three on the UK Amazon site. If you're struggling you can always contact them for guidance. I've always found them really nice people, nice to talk to and willing to help. You can email them or contact them their Facebook page.

[@MotionNA]

Having a hard time deciding which size to get. I want to run two of them in my Rio 450. Should I go with 45mm or 60? Kinda want to let it look a bit settle. Would love to hear your opinion

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Between the 45 and the 60 I'd be going for the 60. I have put my 80mm in my Juwel 450 and it's not ott by any means. Two of the 60s would look pretty sweet I reckon.

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

Hi Daniel. How are you Sir? That is a cool product. It looks very polished and sleek. Have you moved to Scotland? You said Scotland instead of the England. Thankyou very much for sharing. Like 22 is now up. 👍🙂❤️

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yeah I been in Scotland for over twenty years now mate. Thought I'd told you that previously but memory isn't as great as when I lived... where was it again? 😆

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

@@DanielKeepingFish 😂 No you never mentioned that before. Do you remember what your door number is? 😉

[@AQUAGUYUK]

Not a bad bit of kit i don't use bubbles myself but they would be my choice

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yeah it's not for everyone but if you run air I think it's a very nice option. 👍

[@Boss-zo4lw]

Problem with me is that if i want to add bubbles i may as well put a sponge filter in there

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yeah it's not for everyone mate but some people appreciate decorative air items and some just run air for surface agitation like myself on my Juwel Rio. The built in filter is all need but I don't like to point the return upwards so I run an air stone in there. 👍

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

oooh thats fancy great review mighnt get one for my corydoras tank

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks Mandy. Would look ace in your Cory tank for sure.

[@fishingfreckles]

does it matter which way the check valve goes? like an intake and a out end?

[@ejbrinegar]

Dear Daniel: £23.99 = $29.01 This is a lovely item, but it isn't for me. Bubbles are unnecessary, when a filter provides sufficient, surface agitation. I like my aquaria to look as natural as possible. Even if I could hide the air diffuser and the air line, a constant flow of bubbles rising, through the water column isn’t something one would see, in nature. Thank you for sharing your interesting and informative demonstration, of this, fine product. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Yeah I get it mate, it'll not be for everyone. For someone like me though I think it's great. I use the internal filter that comes as standard in my Juwel Rio but also need to run an air stone for surface agitation. This is going to be much much better than what I'm currently running. Hope you had a nice weekend bud and have a fine week to come.

[@larrydsAquatics]

Nice review Daniel

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks Larry. 👍

[@jackanddan]

Awesome, Daniel….. definitely a wonderful and decorative air tool. No question about it and an excellent review we have both Big and media we believe sitting in a box that have been there for about a month or two. Well maybe it’s been longer. It’s been kind of busy ha ha ha but we are going to try to get around to doing a video on them next weekend, in addition to be my 50th birthday this weekend it was also our Thanksgiving here in the states so it was four days of partying lol however now it’s time to knuckle down and get back to work. We are very excited to open his up in Mess round with them. We hope you had a great weekend, sir and we can’t to wait to see where you end up putting this guy.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks very much and many many happy returns for your half-century brother. I hope you got spoiled and had a wonderful time for thanksgiving. I know what you mean mate, been wild busy myself. I had other videos to finish off before this one but I was so excited to try it I couldn't resist myself haha..

[@chesterinocencio]

Is that a 10 gallon tank that you use for testing?

[@maritfishgirl7357]

Oh I liked this one. Don´t know if we´ll ever get in Norway

[@johnmaude5065]

Another great review of something I can’t get 😂😂😂😂

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Oh no. 😆 I'm going to need to find something we can both get and make a video to stay on your good side hey.

[@MarcoIsidori]

Hi Daniel! This Hygger air diffuser is truly innovative and original! I find it very effective and performing as well as well-made. Thank you for this presentation and test.

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Cheers Marco. Not often we get something new and innovative to get excited about in the hobby hey.

[@TarasTankFriends]

Nice review! Wow, that's a very short sunlight period 😶. I like the wide dispersement of the bubbles-- good too know that you tighten it more to get more bubbles, I would've guessed the opposite. Coming with the airline and check valve makes the price a bit better, too. Btw, Santa is watching *all* *year* !😋 Hope you're having a nice Sunday!

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Haha...May have been exaggerating a wee bit on the amount of sun we don't get here. A wee bit. 😂 I think it's a fair price to be honest. They're great and well built too. Plus as you say with the extras included...

[@Coyo-Tea]

That looks brilliant, thanks for this. I remember using the Santa is watching you line 👍🏻

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Haha... works for all of five minutes but the Santa line never looses it's power. 😂

[@alisonnicholson]

Great review Daniel. Like the look of the disc👍

[@DanielKeepingFish]

Thanks very much Alison. Yeah I really like it you can probably tell. If you're someone who runs air in a tank I think it's ace for sure.
