I have poured over the forums, YouTube videos, images, etc at different diffusers. I'm probably going to go with a pair of vertex 9" and a thomas 2660. But I'm curious about a couple things. The Kasco robust air diffusers look to be built with soaker hose?? Is this correct? I have read that the soaker hose style does not lift the water column like the membrane with little holes...like the vertex. I would assume Kasco has done its homework and from the videos I watched it does a good job. Its also pretty pricey if in fact it is soaker hose...guess you are paying for the base?

Does anyone else have this?? What are your thoughts? Also how do the matala discs compare to the vertex?? All three are sponsors and someone will get the my business just curious on the three. I also found another brand (on ebay) that stated it had around 6500 slits in the 9" disc...its not vertex...but isn't that about what a vertex 9" has? I think I read that somewhere. I'm sure thats a cheaper knockoff of a vertex, but I still have some learning to do before Christmas time! lol

Thanks!
