Show me your stones

I bought these 6â?� stones by EC plus

I put them in a pre-veg bubbler

The problem I have is that they arenâ??t consistent in delivering air either across their width or over time. I go in to check on things and one may have stopped bubbling altogether, I rebalance the air delivery at the manifold and the next time I return a different one may have slowed or stopped all together. They seem to get waterlogged.

Another gripe is that a stone may only deliver bubbles over a spot or two. If I increase the volume to that particular stoneâ?¦..I donâ??t get increased dispersion, all I get is larger bubbles from that particular spot in the stone.

So far itâ??s only an annoyance. But when I move my girls down the line to (6) 5gal bubbler buckets it will become a major problem. The buckets are bubblers and recirculating, but I definitely want to have the freedom to limit the pump time in case heat issues arrive in the future. With a scrog screen aboveâ?¦.checking inside regularly on bubbler action may be very disruptive.

For the buckets I want a stone that wonâ??t come and go on me. And for the pre-veg bubbler, one with even dispersion across itâ??s width would be a pleasure. If that turns out to be two different kindsâ?¦I can live with that.
