I'm interested to see feedback from the community on this. I've seen a lot of different opinions about aeration and hydro, from "the water should look like it's boiling" to "Meh, as long as the water is moving, we're fine". Personally, I'm more in the 2nd group. I have a single 30 gallon tote with a 15LPM air-pump feeding 4 stones. The result is pretty modest, but my plants are growing well. I also use anti-fungal religiously, that may play a factor too?
If you haven’t tried these yet. They come apart for cleaning. Unaffected by any nutrient solution. Last forever

Have you considered EPDM air diffusers, as they are self cleaning?

You might want to look at a couple of Matala air manifolds to connect the diffusers to the pump.

sorry for confusion, i was running 4 stones of the cheap ecoplus ones that are like $4, those pentair stones i would need only per bucketAt 4 stones per bucket, your least costly alternative seems to be $49.80/bucket (or am i missing something); i paid $39.01 CAD per diffuser and only use one per bucket.
I've only run the EPDM for a few weeks now so it will be a while until i know if they perform as advertised. Self-cleaning though makes a big difference given that i run with bennies, all i need to do is run them for a few hours in an H202 solution or leave them in place when i sanitize at the end of a run, no need to use special products to break down mineral deposits every few runs.
