Arrow What is the most practical/ affordable pump for a DWC?

I'm gonna be shopping for a pump, but I need the advice of the members here first. What kind of pump or what brand should I get, or what kind is best for DWC?
I'm at your mercy....

fatman...

The GH dual diaphragm is around $60..but it's a good pump and you can replace the diaphragm in it when it wears out.

http://www.genhydro.com/genhydro_US/airpumps.html

The MaxO2 pumps also work well. A bit noisy but they push some air.

http://www.hydroponics.net/i/131653

Larger pumps are available on Ebay. I found a nice pump used for filling the floats on a boat lift...$60. Should move some serious air....

search "pond aeration" also. Lotsa stuff will come up.

btdt

good luck

Thanks, man, I appreciate it. I'm talking about a 25 gallon tub w/ 4 plants. Given those specs, what would you recommend?
