Best air regulator valve for culturing

El Toro · Oct 25, 2023

Im using the cheap Amazon plastic air valves for Copepods and Phyto and they're really no good. Some are 0% to 100% in a quarter turn some never output 100%. The stainless ones look like 1/4 on-off which is no good.

What control valve/regulator do you use on your airhoses or did you build a manifold for air balancing?

I use all sorts of cheap plastic valves from all over the internet and retail stores along with a manifold style valve that has 10 or so valves built into one. Balancing between different jars at different volumes is a mess. Just buy a variety, use check valves, and keep your air pump above the water level of your highest container. Good luck.
