Something dumb that I just cant figure out

[tess24278]

Ok it's a simple and dumb kind of question but I can't figure it out and want some other opinions before I go out and buy new things.

I touched, TOUCHED the tubing connected to my air stone and it now doesn't work.
I have a foot long air stone connected to tubing, connected to a plastic T valve, connected to more tubing, connected to an air pump.
The air pump is plugged in working I checked each part and felt air coming out. Not hardcore air but, air. I'm not sure how hard it blows out normally.
also when I blow into the end of the tubing the bubbles come out so is it the air pump dieing?

Try a new air stone, they clog fairly easy, if that doesn't work its the pump.

Even though it's a brand spankin' new air stone?

 

[discus-dude]

if your tank is too deep the pump might not be strong enough for it

 

[fishtex]

if you blow lightly through it and bubbles come out then it should be fine. what is connected to the other end of the t fitting?

1. Buy all new stuff
2. Don't touch it this time.

Hardy har har. Dude..I have to touch it
Yeah that actually sounds like a plausible cause, the deepness. I think I bought the pump back when I had an itty bitty 10. I don't have it in my larger tank but it is in a 20 high that I bought the other day.

Check for air leaks. If you have a check valve, make sure it's not installed backwards.
