Throw air pumps and stones away....powerheads are the way to go.

Use any brand power head you want. These are the heads that are for the old style aquarium filtration...they sit on clear tubes in each corner..?...got a knob to adjust oxygen..?..you get it.

I use 300 gal an hour ones, less than $30 each.

They create no heat. They create extra fine bubbles that even the finest stones cant do without massive pumps.

They can lay down in even shallow res's...my 3 sit in about 3 inches of water..on their sides of course.

The only thing to keep in mind is for deep water apps you will need a longer piece of 1/4" line to feed O2 into the jet.

Has anyone else suggested this?....This works so much better than stones guys...

Could be cheaper? I dunno, I am about to rip out my entire garden because I am paranoid today:neutral:.....don't listen to me.
