HELP!!! Looking for a reference to a site about central air

[tjudy]

:?
I used to have bookmarked a link to a site maintained by a hobbyist who is well known for his photographs... I just cannot remmebr his name, nor where his site is at. Specifically, I am trying to get to an article he wrote about running small pvc air systems with air pumps rahter than large blowers.

If anyone thinks they know the reference I am looking for, please help me out....

If anyone is currently using air pumps instead of a blower to run a small rack of tanks, please tell us about it.

I was using 6 Whisper air pumps to run a PVC piped sponge filter system on 12 10g tanks. Worked well, but was getting a little weak as I was moving more tanks to sponge filters. Basically set up the same as the guys using blowers for large fishrooms, except I had an extra pipe that had small holes with small sections of rigid airline tubing siliconed in. Then, I ran flexible tubing from the air pumps to the rigid tubing. Nothing too complex and made from spare pumps and parts I had laying around. I have since upgraded to an Alita diaphram pump. No where near as noisy as a blower. About as loud as the 6 Whisper pumps running together, and much more capacity to add more tanks if I can sneak them into the house
