Re: Air Pumps

  Chris,
Have you tried forming a loop with your airline?
If you have only one outlet on your air pump put a "T" in the line before
it goes to any filters.From one side of the "T" go to the first valve and
connect to it.From the other side ot the "T" go to the last valve and
connect to it.Then join all together in a line.Thois equalizes the pressure
through out the line and enables you to run more filters.You may not be
able to run all ten but with a little expieramenting(spelling looks
wrong)you should be able to run more than the 4 filters.If you've already
tried this sorry for wasting your time.
