Need some advice on air pump

[jsullins]

This is what my new set up will consist of 4-55g, 2-20g, a 55g storage barrell and a 250g storage tote. I will need to run 2 12in air stones in the tote, a 6in in the barrell and a minimum of 6 and max of 10 sponge filters in the tanks. all of this runs along one wall in my garage spanning approx 18 ft. Would the Alita 15a do it since its only 3 bucks more than the 6 or do I need something bigger? Next question is it better to run standard tubing down the wall or is there a better way?

15a should suffice, it's better to run the main line with pvc pipe and thread in needle valves for your drops.

where might one find needle valves?

Never mind found them on Jehmco but I do have another question does the size of PVC used make a difference or no

You can also call John at Jehmco and discuss your situation, and he'll give you advice. He's been great with me, recommended an air pump and manifold for my setup, which works great. I've always found the people there to be very informative and happy to talk with me about my needs.
