which pumps for DWC?


Recommended Posts

ok i ve read the whiole thread , but still cant seem to make my mind up as to how big the air pump should be

 

i have 50 Litre tub , im thinking a resun 4 outlet pump AC 9904

hxxp://www.aquariumproducts.com.au/category8_1.htm

 

it does 9 litres a minute , do you people think oit will be enough ?

Also does any one have one of these , im after some thing very quiet

 

EDIT : im also swinging towards the HP-1116 AIR PUMP (20000cc/Min

Quad)

 

 

All suggestions are appreciated , also online stores to get them ,

I had to replace my air pump for flood and drain recently and I brought a resun from that site.

 

Its bloody quiet and I cant hear it running at all.

Resun is a good brand, I reakon you cant go wrong mate.

 

 

Although I think it would be fine to run one bucket per line, Im not certain. I will be using it like that though in my next grow which will be bubblers.

For my 14 20L bubblers (actually 12 plus 2 controllers) I am running a Resun LP60 70L/per minute pump which outputs into 19mm tubing in a curcuit so there is even air pressure on all outlets.

 

I am now using 2 Aqua Shuttles manifolds for the 12 buckets but the 2 controller lines are still connected to the 19mm tubing via the usual barbs.

 

Oh and the airstones are all Aqua One 120mm ceramic cylinders... expensive as hell airstones but worth it.

 

Edit: This is the pump I use. It's overkill for even my use and it's quiet as hell.

Very nice. http://www.aquariumproducts.com.au/prod42.htm
