Airation

I just set up a Whisper 40 pump for my 29gal tank. Way too many bubbles. Can i use a smaller one like a 20 0r 10 to reduce the amount of bubbles coming out of the wand?

Re: Airation

You can buy a gang valve only choose exactly how many bubbles you want as they have a knob to turn, I have one and I LOVE it. I can take a picture if you'd like.

Re: Airation

Sure here are some, don't get a t-connector, get a gang valve, they are 2+$, all you would need is a two one, not four like mine.

Re: Airation

Sounds great They sure are nice aren't they, the really cool thing is you can easly turn off your air stone or whatever you have at feeding time if it makes a lot of surface agiation.
