im in same boat, trying out different products to lower my cost. sag isnt it, if anything i spike the hydroguard with it but standalone, it isnt a working replacement. The most potent combo for me is hydroguard/liquid orca. Picked up some powdered versions this run...
Sorry I didn’t clarify earlier, I meant system performance wise, I’m on fence about to replace some air disc or convert to waterfall
been looking at pentair air stones, they claim lifetime warranty in ph conditions under 8.0.
I think bubblemac was the stones I was looking at but $25/ea is steep...
took 2.5 gallon empty hydroguard jug and filled with seachem prime treated water, added whole bottle of GFF(16oz size).
cost me $13 plus a empty hydroguard jug. hope this works cause i paid 100 for the HG
question on air pumps, can i connect 2 pumps together on a single manifold, any benefit to this or should i run each pump seperatly?
pump to check valve to manifold(4 way tee), 1 pump on each side and trumpet style manifolds on the other 2 sides
