Horrific Yellow-ish "Oxidation" Staining in Airline Tubing?

[Star_Rider]

you may, over time notice that the tubing at and near the connection will also harden over time.

I agree with andy it's usually some transfer from the heat created by the pump.

Thanks, everyone...appreciate the feedback!

So, there are no dangers from the heat/oxidation?

No. Sometimes the tubing will come off the air pump, probably due to the heat expansion I suppose; I've had this once or twice. Keep the air pump itself in an open location though, as it can overheat if enclosed.

Thanks Byron; indeed the pump is sitting in the back of my tank, open on all sides...:lol:
