Benefits of a Gang Valve

I bought a gang valve for my fish tank a while back because when I stepped up from the 10 gallon to my current tank, I kept the old skull air bubble toy and bought a new one. I don’t even remember what the new one was since they have both been replaced with an airstone type of bubbler.

The gang valve let me split the air from one air pump to multiple destinations in the tank. Which was pretty cool. And by using more than one bubbler, I was able to spread the bubbles to a couple different spots of the tanks.

Now that I am back to using just one bubble source, I still love my gang valve, though, because it lets me control how much air is going into your bubbler at the top of the tank instead of climbing under the tank to mess with the pressure on the air pump itself. Plus, if you have more than one device hooked up, you can control how much air pressure is sent to each individual item.
