air looping??

[storm_fish]

i was told that this way, i would get more air efficiently and evenly.


seems to work well enough ... excuse the monstrosity on the right .. im still in trial mode and do not have a large air pump yet

I used tuning for the ice maker to fit onto the pvc ... it fits onto a 1/4" bit hole PERFECTLY (just a bit snug)

Looks great bro! You are definitely on the right track!Whats the cross pieces though?That kinda goes outta the "loop" so to speak.

i was reading that other thread and it said so air will be dispersed more evenly?... idk ... maybe i should take them out? ... well it seems to work pretty well as of now .. so .. im not complaining

This setup is intended to keep the pressure uniform so the air doesn't just blast out the first outlet. Air is like water: it takes the path of least resistance. This should keep each sponge filter running at roughly the same pressure, since the PVC manifold will equalize the pressure. You will need a MUCH bigger air pump to properly pressurize that much PVC...
