I just got an aquarium pump and 2 micron diffusion stone* for aeration, but I don't have a filter for the line. I can build one easily, but is this even necessary?
It seems to me like the stone itself is a sort of filter as visible (and many invisible) dust particles are much larger than a two thousandths of a millimeter.
*Before now, I just shook the heck out of my carboy with an undrilled bung in it, taking the bung out once or twice to let fresh air in. About six months ago, I was washing out said carboy when it slipped out of my hand, three inches above the ground, while I was pouring it out. The bottom sheared right off. I'm back to ale pails for primary.
