    Most of those airpumps I've never heard of. -->Used Whisper in the past and Currently Uses Rena Air.

    HINT: If you want to run airstones to various tanks from just one airpump I would run splitters or a multi-outlet gang valve and run your tubing from them --and right into the setups. Don't forget to put check valve/valves on your airpump to prevent back siphoning! AND if you plan on using 1 airpump for multiple setups then you want the higher model that covers the larger tank (for more power to aerate multiple small airstones).

    7.5 watt 2-1/4" x 5" up to 5 gallons (for the 3 gallon)
    15 watt 2-5/8" x 5-1/8" up to 10 gallons (for the 6-12 gallon)

    Thats another option (2 of the two outlet ones)
    Or 1 powerhouse running into a gang valve...and from the gang valve outlets directly to various tanks.

    I like both Ideas, I am going to need a air line for my 3 gallon tanks I going to put my bettas in, so I could gang value one outlet to run them and a brine shrimp hatchery may be.

    Yup, defin can do. I like the brass gang valves (last forever).
    I'd recommend a 5 way valve.

    I got a plastic because i couldn't find a brass gang value. I have great news, I got my ten gallon tank final clean and now I'm checking for leaks, if no leaks I going to spray it out and fill it up, I going to put a weak airtion in it to keep some of the water moving until my sponge filter get here Friday, Saturday, or Monday. I hope Friday so I can stay after school Monday.

    my fry tank
    I'm happy with, I got my fry tank up and running, I and the sponge filter. I also move one of my females over to the tank.

    I also don't think I stressed her to much seeing how she is eating. I feed her some micro worms to be more appealing then flakes.
