The 1" stones work very well, but anything larger than 1" stones produces very little bubbles.
I installed a "Y" 2-into-1 adaptor so I can run two 4" stones.

The 1" stones work very well, but anything larger than 1" stones produces very little bubbles.
I installed a "Y" 2-into-1 adaptor so I can run two 4" stones.
Good points so far: The pump moves a large quantity of air (the water looks like it's boiling) and shows no sign of slowing down. The mechanism is basically a solenoid moving at line frequency against a one-way valve. Unless the valve is poorly constructed, and if kept in a clean environment, it should last a very long time. The construction is solid, and the design simple. Many other reviewers have also commented positively about the pump's reliability and durability. The long air line that I'm using helps buffer the noise (the pump is VERY loud if run wide open!). It is noisy, but not excessively: Probably not appropriate for a home aquarium, but sitting on a piece of wood inside a plastic shoe box (to protect it from the elements), the noise is subdued and not at all intrusive. The pump also gets warm during continuous operation, but not to the point where it can't be handled. I'm guessing the greater the flow resistance, the greater the heat that's generated. The pump also has a built-in air filter that's easy to clean, and comes with a manifold with multiple valve controlled outlets. Haven't used it, so no comments.
Down sides so far: my biggest complaint so far: the supplied nipple has an odd tapered pipe thread; it would be tough to replace. Other than that I find the pump to be an excellent value and a good investment. I would definitely recommend, and would not hesitate to buy another should the need arise.
The strength dial on top turns easy to either side to control the flow and it responds quickly. The outlets are far enough to accommodate a variety of sizes of nozzles or tube connections. It easily fit the "standard" airline tubing size but also the tiny adapter that comes with those tiny nano air tubing that comes with some nano pumps. The rubber feet help to elevate the pump for air circulation around the unit to keep it cool. Keep your pumps cool and out of direct sun.
The downside is that it is loud if you really turn the flow up. I have it connected to six 20 gallon tanks and two 10 gallons and thankfully did not need to worry about the noise - runs perfect without noise. If you need to turn the flow up, there are workarounds to help muffle the noise but that is the tradeoff.
Had I known I would suffer from MTS (Multi Tank Syndrome) I would have gladly started with this multi outlet unit. Less spent on extra extension cords, usb power blocks and nano pumps. Save yourself some frustration and money.
