hi all,

i have a dual aquascape dual bubbler and i was wondering what i can do to regulate the flow of bubbles, its kinda extreme and would like to limit the ait flow. i see check valves but i think that's just so the water doesn't back flow.

You can have an air hose T-valve, before it enters the water. Just adjust the settings on the t-value to regular how much air is going into the water.

Do like ^^ or put in a T into your air line let some of the air bleed out into the air, I do that with my 3/4 inch line, stick a cork in the end open a hole in the cork until the amount of air is where I want it to be, in the pond, the line with the cork bleeds out in air, the line in the pond is open.

My bubbler (spindrifter) is supplied via a garden hose plumbed infront of the 4" slide valve.
It rns up the pipe and is connected in its fitting , to regulate the airflow we put in a valve that we can open and close when needed the bubbler is supplied by an Aitrtec 40e madeby Evolution Aqua
So as John suggests put in a valve of some sorts
