Pond Boss Forums AERATION Systems questions Air line size for long runs?

Thank you gentlemen. I will be using ¾ black poly all the way to the pond ½ supply to the diffuser. Next question! The hole coming out of the compressor is ¼ npt. I am coming straight from ¼ to ½ to ¾ for my manifold. Then ¾ all the way to the pond . If I made my manifold out of 3/8 or ½ then went to ¾ nipple would the restriction at the pump effect the whole system? Or would the air from the pump going right into the bigger line negate the restriction at the manifold?
