Okay well I decided to buy a Rena 300 Air Pump off of Ebay (the price was right; $30.29 new incl shipping..I got lucky)

Okay well I'm new to aerating a tank so I have some questions.

Although the Rena has one outlet, I plan on using it for my 55 Gallon and my 10 gallon QT (running one device each). Is this okay? It's rated for up to a 75 gallon tank so I assume it is.

Now my questions..

In order to do this, what will I need?
From doing minimal research I've figured that I would need:

-Durable Tubing (Any recommendations?)
-1 Penn Plax Lok-Tite 2 1/2 Way Brass Gang Valve (This is so I can distribute lets say 75% pressure to the 55 and 25% to the 10gal, right? And no need for the "T" valve @ the beginning with this?)
-2 Penn Plax Check Valves / Air Filter
-Air Stone/Bubble Disk/Bubble Wall etc...

Can anyone recommend the suction cups to keep the tubing in check or will they just create more hassle?

Please let me know and TIA
-Dan
 
:D good research Dan. You're correct. With tubing, I've found the more flexible it is, the easier to work with. Any suction cup should do.
 
Thanks Brian!

I thought I was right but I wanted to make sure before I went out and bought everything (or ordered from bigals)

With the tubing, will do! I'll buy the pro stuff.
I really appreciate the reply.

Haven't had a chance to say it much but I really love all you guys.
This forum ROCKS!!!!!!!! :band:
