which air pump will i need to run 3 20ltr buckets?

as title says
cheers

2 of these, with 2 tubes to each 5gal bucket will be more than enough along with at least 4" air stone pillars.
I use 1 air pump per 12gal cooler that contains 10gal of soultion.
My yields say enough.

thanks flow, just looked at st sum of ya results, excellent.

More air is a good thing so its all up to you.
Pillar air stones are the best.

u can grab the 2 like flo said, or they make 1 unit thats an 8 port....i bought one a year ago and it took a shit last week, so i got another...i think the first one i had shorted out when i had a bad thunderstorm, i dont think it was the pumps fault...cause my buddy has had his(same one) for 4 years, same pump....my local hydrostore sells them for $45, but if u shop online,(i try not to that much) im sure they are cheaper online somewhere

thanks for the rep flo....yeah bro it def moves some air....i have 3-27gallon rezzys and it has no prob pumpin them....i run 3 lines to 2 of the rezzs' and 2 lines to the other...and believe me the one with only the two lines runnin in it is plenty enoughj...i run 2 -4" cylinder airstones and 1 -5" disk in each of the rezzys....hopefully this pump will last me for a while....hope this helps ya out doherty

and flo, so ur def gonna be running those new pumps u and the big bro have been checkin on????
i def wanna know what u think of those pumps when u get them.

Looks like you need the 8" disk from Worm's Way : http://www.wormsway.com/detail.aspx?t=prod&sku=SRAS608

Once big bro gets the 460gph model and test it out, it'll be an all go.
The 1100gph model he has is a bit too much.
And at a price approx equal to 2 of those above 8", we have to find out.
Let's face it, we all have to replace our stones at some point and the Oxygen Infusor looks to be a better investment in the long run.

flow are theses ones ok and im getting the eight way pump.
cheeers

I used to use the 4 outlet pumps. 3 or 4 per cooler, 12 to 16, 6 inch air stones per cooler.

Now I'm on a new kick. 110L per minute.
One hose into the cooler and a Rube Goldberg bubble system on the bottom.

Needed more of the right sized bubbles and couldn't find it in the stores so I made it.

nice pumps bb...i know ur happy, just to cut down on the amount of plugs and wires you had to habe to run all those pumps....whats the rube goldberg???

Can't say.

Sorry, I have a few things cooking and can't disclose.

I'll share a lot here with riu'ers but some parts of this thing need to be kept on the low-down for now.

Just the way it is,,,,,,,,

I'm taking a few days off up in the mountains to clear my head and rest the bones.
The air is sweet up here and I eat like a horse.

Got to clear my mind for the transfer and set .
