I am making a 6 bucket recirculating DWC system. I am using Active Air 4 inch disc air stones.What would be a good
air pump for these stones. After considerable research, I am leaning towards a Pondmaster model 40. Would this be a good pump or does anyone know of a better one?

this is a very high output ............u can take 4 short tubes all same lenght then add a t fitting on 2 to make 2 sets then anouther short line with anouther t fitting gives u 1 line with all the power

that stone there makes very small bubbles and will make the roots very very happy
