<p>Got the chance to ask a staff of a pet products distributor about this, and her answer was that round airstones are better because:</p>
<p>1) they have more surface area and thus distributes bubbles better, and more evenly, and</p>
<p>2) they chip/break less often.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Her explanation made sense to me, so I bought the round ones (ever since). :)</p>

<span>Although, what type of system are you planning, Deep Water Culture, Media, Combination? I suspect with a aquaponic system a small airstone is needed, such as my aquaponic system, if and only if </span>with a<span> conjunction between Flood and Drain and or cascade of water. (congrats if you can make sense of this sentence)</span>

The elongated airstones broke in my hydroponic system when I pushed on them a bit to make it straight. I only use dense round ones. I have never tried square ones.
