Koi Pond Aquarium Air Pump
It looks like it would work well for multiple DWC buckets, does has anyone used this? Also has a 12 outlet manifold so you could do 6 5 gallon buckets pretty easily correct. Is there any reason not to use this? Thanks for the input.

Just thought of something else, do you need to take any precautions with the water possibly flowing back into the pump somehow?:S1::S1:

any aquarium store will have this little anti-siphon valve for about $2.00 (they actually usually come free with the pump)

Nice pump.....go for it. :thumbsup:

I don't like to use check valves because they reduce air flow, sometimes by quite a bit. I like to put my air pumps above the res and that solves any back flow issues.

Did you see this one?
