airstones & pump power??

[kuba1a2b]

hey guyss..
i was hoping to get three separate ten gallon rubbermaids (2 for veg and one for flower room) and i was just wondering how powerful the air pump should be if i hook them all up to the same one... the air pump im planning to buy is for a 30 gallon aquarium..does that mean there will be enough air for 30 gallons of bubble ponics?? also how many air stones (and what size) do you recommend in this set up...

I personally like the air wands vs the airstones but for a 10 gal setup what I need to know is what kind of set up is it? Drip, DWC? Ebb and Flow? The more info the better.

Than as much air pump power as you can afford. Eco pump makes a 35 w commercial air pump that should fill your needs well.....no such thing as too much 02 but definitely can have problems if there is not ENOUGH aeration.
