Ok so I have a shitty bubbler now for my 45 gal res in my dwc setup but am looking to switch to something more powerful like this
http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Sunleaves-DuraPump-Air.asp

It's 18 watt so I'm thnking itll make some noise I have it in my closet so I want it quiet as possible. Anyone had this pump ? It says it has 4 outlet divider but it looks as if it only has one room for a hose and airstone idk about 4....but anyone had this let me know if it's powerful and how many hoses or stones can connect to it

I have used a few different pumps, I can tell you now, that will be noisy. If I where you I would go for the hailea v60, good output and quite as a mouse. My pump came with a 10 way manifold so you should be fine with as many airstones as you want.

But any of the ones that are 18 watt n stuff are they too loud for in my room? I got a pretty big res that's 45 gal and was looking for a nice powerful pump that's quiet

Would the Eco plus 24 watt 8 outlet be good for a 45 gal dwc?....I don't plant on using 8 airstones just maybe 5 and a couple of the double micro air bubbles I'm going to get a htg supply..

Ok so I'm thinking of switching to aeroponics and I have a submersible 800 gph water pump already that I want to use...question is do I have to get a mister or sprayer that matches it? I mean I got the idea but I was planning on getting this from home depot....

Would this fit an 800 gph even tho it says 2 gph an hour..? Will it like back up my pump and break it?

And on the hooking it up to pump, I simply get some tubing and bring through the middle of the top of the res....and screw those musters into the sides of the tube...so I can have unlimitted number of misters for one pump? Trying to understand before I buy it all let me know ...
