なり水槽内が見苦しくなる。[0004] First, depending on the type of coral, the diameter of the pores is too small to apply a load to the air pump, and the air pump generates heat and may be destroyed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, when a coral lump having the size of two adult fists is used as the main body of the air stone 40, bubbles B.
・ Attachment part 41 to which air hose 42 is attached without generating
Are generated only from the pores 40a near.
Therefore, if the size of the air pump is increased to uniformly generate air bubbles from the entire pores of the coral surface, the air bubbles themselves become large and the inside of the water tank becomes unsightly.

る。FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, an air stone 1 made of a coral lump is provided with three mounting portions 2 corresponding to the size of the lump at a lower portion thereof. One end of each of the air hoses 5 is attached to the mounting portion 2 by a locking body 2a.
And the other end of the air hose 5 is connected to the air pump 7. The mounting part 2 has a hollow inside, and has one end of the locking body 2a protruding therein. The material is most preferably a coral lump, but any other material such as stone or plastic can be selected. The mounting portion 2 may be formed integrally with the air stone 1 or may be formed separately and fixed to the air stone 1. One or more arbitrary number of attachment parts 2 can be selected. The locking body 2a is made of plastic, rubber, metal, or the like, and has a function of fixing the air hose 5 to the mounting portion 2 and reliably sending air to the hollow portion of the mounting portion.

From the entire surface of the coral, the same operation and effect as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. In particular, in this embodiment, the air hose 5 connected to the air pump 7 is connected to one mounting portion 4.
Therefore, the number of air hoses extended from the air pump 7 can be reduced as compared with the first embodiment, and the appearance can be improved. In addition, even when applied to a large coral lump airstone 1, it is possible to generate bubbles B ... more uniformly than the pores 1a on the surface, and to dissolve oxygen into water more efficiently. Can be.

In this embodiment, three mounting portions 4 corresponding to the size of the airstone 1 are formed in a cylindrical shape below the airstone 1 made of a coral mass. One end of each of the air hoses 5 is connected to the mounting portion 4 by a locking body 6, and the other end of the air hose 5 is connected to an air pump 7. The locking body 6 securely fixes one end of the air hose 5 and closes the opening of the mounting portion 4. The method of use, operation and effect of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment. Further, since the mounting portion does not protrude from the air stone, it is particularly unfortunately excellent.

One end of an air hose 18 having the other end connected to the air pump 7 is connected to one of the mounting portions 16, and the mounting portion 16 is connected to the mounting portions 16 on both sides by an air hose 20. Similarly, the mounting portions 16, 16. . Are interconnected by an air hose 20. In the present embodiment, air is sent out into the coral to generate bubbles B... From the entire surface of the coral.

る。According to the air stone of the present invention, since air is sent through a plurality of mounting portions, the air pump is less likely to be damaged by a load applied to the air pump. In addition, coral lump of various sizes can be used as an air stone, and air can be sent to the entire air stone. For this reason, there is an effect that a large amount of small bubbles can be generated uniformly at a time regardless of the size of the pores on the surface.
