    Hi,

    I just bought a Top Fin Powerhead 30 for my 10 gallon tank. I am familiar with most of the setup except a clear air line that come with it. I assume it plugs to the top but I am unsure of where to put the other end? Does it just dangle in the water? That's what I'm assuming but I want to be sure. Anyone?

    It is there to add air bubbles to the water. You just leave it outside the water.

    That clear line can be used for aerating water and as a substitute to an aqualifter for continuous siphon overflows. I never used the hose. Just make sure the hole is below the surface of the water.
