What other options are there? My spinners get clogged, I've tried sprayers and ended my winter growing with air stones. I need to find a nozzle that I can keep above water level and be able to pull off and clean more often. Maybe like a watering can top? Maybe find some small ones like off my outdoor shower I use for camping. I tell ya guys, I am really reachin for something new! My indoor season is starting soon too...

I don't know how much better that would work see as though they clog rather easily also. We use them alot at work, and you also have to consider the chemicals in the water with the brass and what is released.

Honestly, nothing! I have a 900 GPH pump to run 50 50-gallon buckets. I will run the lines - four of them - in-line, using 1/4" T's and leave one end open. I won't get millions of tiny bubbles but a guy with a lot of experience said in another forum that is all he does.
Another option is to use plastic tubing and, with a needle, poke holes in it - the more the merrier.

Stop using the cheap blue air stones and get a good quality ceramic one. I bought some like this http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=139_268&products_id=1396 they are kind of expensive, but worth it imo.
