Giving this one a try once it shows up at my door. 8.5inches across! Should have a nice wide disbursement of bubbles :)

I use the 3.5 inch cylinder looking ones and they work great. No issues yet.

If you are still looking at dwc I would get something self cleaning. JK

 

[Pandaman]

What air-stones are self cleaning? Glass?

Nice site, thanks Jalisco Kid! Do you know who sells this retail or is this a common product that most Hydroponic Stores sell?

Thanks

[chrometrichs]

How do the silicon diffusers match up against the ceramic micro-pore diffusers? I was told the silicon ones don't last as long...

 

[Jalisco Kid]

It cost 6 bucks a ft. I have some that are on their 8th cycle. JK

 

[Kpezzy]

I run mostly 6" long blue pet store bar style stones, but got one of these in one of the buckets to try it out. Mine is the same brand but about 5" round. It does seem to make more and smaller bubbles than the long bars do.

The alita round ones are supposed to be the best. They are over $20 a piece if I remember right though. They also need a lot of air. I'm using a pondmaster ap-100 on 12 buckets and i like it so far.

Can I get an update on the performance of the flex air discs? I'm soooo close to pulling the trigger. I will be pumping 28 lpm through mine. Any issues? They look ideal other than they look pretty thick? I mean, how far do they sit off the bottom of the containers? Thanks!!
