is there such thing as to much air being pumped into my 5 gallon bucket? my pump burnt out yesterday in my single 5 gallon bucketier. i went to the local hydro store and found a pump with dual air flow nipples(stoned and i didn't know what to call them). So i was wondering if it would be to much of a good thing if i put 2 x 4 inch air stones on the bottom of the bucket?

When it froafs out of the top, lol. Or you start getting major amounts of foam...

If the water leaks out or won't stay in the bucket, its too much, lol.
