Who has the best air stones?

Hey all, I'm a seasoned veteran to the DWC scene, yet I still have trouble finding reliable air stones, suited for big plants and a high level of aeration. I have used products varying from aquarium stones, to micropores and active aqua air discs. So far, the Micropores may be the best ones I have used, and the active aqua discs while good, float sometimes and have to be glued in some fashion to the bottom of the bucket.

If anyone has personal favorites, or knows of good equipment, please let me know. Thanks again RIU people's and hope to hear back soon!

:-P

Looks like the same ones I have, yet I am finding that with aggressive feeding regimens, they seem to clog. On the off chance that clogging is the problem, are there special solutions for cleaning?

I'm also still looking for anyone with recommendations. Thanks for the help!

I like the circular airstones if you are going with airstone at all. Airstones from petsmart suck ass and break too easily.

I have tried all and they all suck, so I just buy 10 new ones every couple months, just another cost. they all break down cuz of the nutes and they are cheap anyways. I use them for a full grow and toss them with the roots and stems. the micro pore costs $40 but I can buy 15 regular ones for that price

so having used both, you dont see a difference in your plant structure or bud quality using one versus the other?

i can check with the guy to make sure its the same exact stuff, but im assuming it is, as i didnt see much other silicone diffuser hoses out there, and i think you can order direct:

if not they should be able to line you up with a retailer... they cant be in business and not selling shit... i think you need a higher pressure pump with that but im not too sure...
