running a large air pump for multi+ tanks

[monsterberry]

Ok so sorry for making so many threads just need advice, so i want to run a series of 10gs in my fishroom off 1 large air pump. Ive done plenty of research but cant find good pics of the set up. Ive heard u pump the air throu PVC pipe around the room then have air line going to each individual tank but aint PVC far to thick to be used to carry the air? Wouldn't u need some kind of controle over the amount of air per tank?

Thanks for any replys

3/4 or 1 inch PVC is fine. You just need some of those air flow control lines. They are drip regulators and you just drill a hole in the main PVC, attach the drip regulator, and attach an airline. It's relatively easy my uncle runs 20 tanks on that system

You need metal valves that thread into the pvc or you can buy a premade manifold. All depends on what you want to do.
