Active Aqua Airstones? What do you use?

These Linear piston pumps are the best period. http://www.jehmco.com/html/central_air_pumps.html

I am looking at some Active Aqua 8.5 in round airstones 2.8 lbs each. Also looking to get a commercial 110LPM pump to push them. I have an Igloo cooler than they will be in. Any advice would be helpful. I currently have 2 80 gallon Top Fin 4000 pumps with 2 6 in round stones and a 10 and 14 in stone and they dont seem to be doing the job. Could I get by with getting a 60-80 LPM pump and some cheap round 6 in stones or is a good diffuser gonna make a big difference?

I run the same pump but dont use round air stones I use the round 6 inch cylinder ones they stay in place and dont move.

I decided to get a 70 LPM pump instead and got one of those 8.5 in round stones instead of two. So I will run 1 8.5 inch Active Aqua stone, 2 blue 6 in round disk, 1 10 &1 14 inch airstone. That should give me plenty of bubbles and o2 in the rez compared to what I am currently using by simply adding a better pump. +rep for responding

yeah I rock that 12 port manifold and the 6 port manifold one too I give them a lot of bubbles.. so far so good.
