DIY Air Stone Strip

this air strip i did guys, it was a total failure. bubbles only came out at one spot which i guess was big enough. you have to make the holes way bigger. good luck!

How do you balance the pressure? I would imagine that every single hole must be exactly the same or the air will all escape out of the largest hole in a fast stream? Additionally, for the tubing, does the rubber not tear after a while? Since the rubber is a lot like plastic-wrap where before its punctured its strong, but after its punctured, its easy to tear. I remember notching tubing with a knife before and bending the tube there allowed the tube to break evenly and tear.

awww to bad ... as with the ones i have seem and done once the holes are made about the same size it all comes together... and looks cool... LOL.... as for cut lines being week .. i would assume if you cut to far or made the holes super big but i have done it with a hot awl and had no issues....
