RE: [Killietalk] Linear air pump

[listhub at libros_andante.mn.org]

My suggestion based on experience......

Call Jehmco, ask to speak to John. This is one of the most knowledgeable fish
room construstion guys I have ever talked to.  Tell him how many lines you need
(overestimate your needs by 10 to 15 percent) and the depth of your tanks at
max fill level.  Buy the Jehmco Linear Air Pump he suggests.
