So I have an O2 Stone that we picked up a few months back in prepping for the BH's.
Just hooked it up to an aquarium pump and it seems to bubble only out of the seam between the stone and the threaded portion, no bubbles out of the body of it at all...
Shouldn't it bubble from the whole body with tiny bubbles?

you talking about the 1/2" threaded stone like mine Senior?  I noticed the same.  the stone actually fell out of mine.  I wedged it back in temporarily but an looking to a more permanent solution.  silver soldering or welding is out of the question I think.  Maybe food grade silicone or something.

Pretty disappointed to say the least.

I have one with a hose barb. The O2 bubbles out of the stone itself.

Sorry,
Thought I'd replied...they emailed me within a day saying they were reshipping.
I'll be picking up the new on on the next trip south.
