An air controller, also known as an air flow controller or air valve, is a device used in aquariums to regulate the flow of air from an air pump to various air-driven equipment such as air stones, sponge filters, or other air-powered devices. This is essential for maintaining the proper oxygenation and circulation in the tank. Here’s a breakdown of its features and usage:
