At first I used an airstone but it instead of little bubbles it still made big bubbles as if the airstone wasnt even there. Mightve been the low quality airstone but it was the only airstone I saw being sold that was the most expensive. It doesnt state if its made out cement or rock or whatever. As of right now, Im feeding the tube into the lower intake of my filter so the impeller chops it up. It used to be 1 bubble every however seconds at first but now it does 4-6 bubbles at once in 20 seconds. I guess its the same thing... but I was just curious was it does that rather than 1 bubble at a time.
Let us know how the rice thing goes, I heard it's supposed to last longer and some people use rice only instead of sugar and only use sugar to jump start the yeast.
