Default air pump

No minimum wage shopping today. I think I know what you are referring to,
but what department would it be in. You call it 'drip' - appliances,
plumping?

I probably should have mentioned that a lot of black drip tubing and
connections are the same size, at least the stuff my son uses. ~ jan

It's no wonder the pond shops get twice the money for plug and go

Got your post (Thanxx) and I thought 'Perfect'. Short, sweet, to the

point,
simple and most importantly - CHEAP. Go to Wal Mart this morn- there's a
20-60 gal air pump $10 - perfect. Wand air curtain - 8 or 12 inches -
Humming right along, I'll take the twelve. Attach 2? No KISS. Could it

be?
A simple, quick 'home remedy'. Already the 2x4and saw, little green

bucket,
couple little weights and ties, just need the tubing and we be jammin.

Lets
see 8 ft or 25 ft. 25 ft $2.50 - the cheap skate is in heaven EXCEPT no
UV. None elsewhere either as far as I or employees could tell. Oh well,

HD
and/or Lowes - see you soon. It's a good thing I dont figure in minimum
wage for my searching time or my addiction would sure be expensive

Go to Walmart and look in their aquarium section, purchase the biggest

you
can afford and a wand type air curtain and something to weigh it down.

A
package of UV resistant tubing (it is usually blue in color). ~ $20

total
depending on pump size?

Set pump on a piece of 2X4 and cover with a bucket and plug it in. )

I have decided to add a small air pump to my pond. This is I believe

simply
peace of mind insurance, so I want it to be cheap insurance. I could

use
some suggestions about how small/cheap I can use and still be

providing
benefit. I don't even know how air pumps are rated but will doubling

the
output double the 'benefit'. The air stone? Round, big, 2 inch, foot

long,
small bubbles???? I have been unable to find hardly even any opinions

about
what to actually use, once I have opted for the air stone method.

Well
Ingrid mentioned an absolutely, positively setup but much more than I

want
to spend.
