Damn, well there goes that idea out the window.
Was this the one you got ?

I spent some time looking for air stones and gas dispersion
tubes. The closest thing I found was the porous hose used for
irrigation. The stuff I got is 1/2" ID and made from recycled
plastic and rubber, and appears to be acid very resistant. I want
to know what people use industrially.

For the lab you can get fritted glass on the end of a tube. But
these are expensive.

Try phoning hydroponics stores because they may have bigger range
and variety. Ceramic air stones are commonly available, which I
have never tried myself. Other people to try are in the water +
sewage treatment industry. They may able to help. Just ask for
fine bubble air diffuser.

Here is some stuff I found on the web.
