Description

Aquarium airline restrictor to slow or cut off the flow of air from air pumps, useful for:

  • Brine shrimp hatching
  • Raising fish fry
  • Drip acclimating
  • Slowing sponge filter flow
  • Etc. Prints without supports.

    Sized for 6mm O.D. airline tubing and provided in two styles (I recommend the airline restrictor and wing bolt files for ease of use).

    I printed and used MikeyWires' file (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2144242) but was having trouble getting it to print reliably, so I designed this one from scratch to fit my needs.

    This shouldn't come into contact with aquarium water, so any filament should work. However, I do recommend using either PETG or ABS long term for mechanical durability.
