I will add one more thing that is VERY important to the aeration equation. BUDGET.

A lot of the time it seems folks' budgets determine the size of the system versus what the optimal setup would be. Sinking line isn't cheap, quality diffusers/bases aren't cheap and a pump to run several diffusers isn't cheap either. I still don't like to think about how much I have sunk into pumps and sinking line.
