I'm talking round ones disc shape sweetwater ect.... all input is much appreciate peace n pot madd monkeys lab
I use Eco circulating pumps and they have a attachment that allows you to put a small tube on it. It works better then those darn air stones. And they don't break! Check it out. At least when it's time to buy a new circulating pump keep in mind.
Top Fin® Fine Bubble Airstones - Air Pumps & Accessories - Fish - PetSmart ^^^ micropore fine air bubble stones that are crazy cheap. I use the 4 inch ones and one in 5gallon is all you need to make it look like the water is boiling.
I've used these before, I prefer them over the extremely cheap blue ones. I've also tried wooden air diffusers recently; I would stay away from those.
Go to your local WALMART... don't waist the time ordering little crap like that online or paying top dollar at a pet store... I went to walmart and they have 60 gallon air pumps with two outputs on them with valves for about 10 bucks a peice...the hose for over 20 feet or more was a couple dollars and each air stone is a buck or two a peice...plus the air stones they can be connected and chained together to provide more air release..
I always get them from there an they go out after a while cause they aren't made for hydroponics madd monkeys lab
the ones i got are called aqua culture and they are for 60 gallon fish tanks...i can't say how long they last i never had a fish before but they are meant to run 24/h a day....if u want to get a nicer bigger air pump then cool but for most of the basic supplys walmart has a lot...plus distilled water...
I have not but those disc types are just over sized blue stones. You want fine bubbles as that is what adds the most oxygen molecules to the water that the plant can absorb. I have spent big bucks on glass airstones and will say for $5 for a 4 inch micro pore at the local pet store, you can't go wrong.
I will check out the pet store like u said... but do me a big An check out sweetwater airstones..an please tell me wat u think from wat u read and see peace n pot .... http://search.aquaticeco.com/index?D=airstone&Nty=1&N=0&Dk=0&Ntt=airstone...... ╰_╯KICK ROCKS madd monkeys lab
I always air stones clog so I have switched to bare lines with t's and suction cups to hold the line down. And ordered a cheap water pump off ebay ($8) to start flooming. Should be more effective then the air pump. Flooming For Aeration Water Turnover
