or
- Premium Materials & Great Heat Control: This pump dissipates heat more effectively with aluminum-alloy heat-radiating plates, and delivers excellent, long-lasting performance with a high-quality aluminum manifold and 100% copper outlet nozzle
- Maximum Air Pressure and Air Volume: VIVOSUN powerful 50W electromagnetic motor produces exceptional air pressure (over 0.035 MPa) and sends a huge volume of air to the 8 adjustable valve outlets (compatible with 1/4" air lines)
- Set It and Forget It: Innovative material engineering on the steel engine column and piston makes this pump perfectly energy-efficient and highly resistant to wear-and-tear so you can leave it running 24/7; recommended for outdoor use
- Quiet Solution for Hydroponics and Fish Tanks: This model's oil-free motor lubrication, low noise generation (under 60 decibels) and 1.5 m. power cord make it the ideal pump for oxygenating an aquarium or plant roots in a hydroponics system
- Great Performance: Pumping 70 liters of air per minute rated for up to 1 year of service, this pump is the reliable solution you've been looking for

You might be able to split those 2 outlets on your air pump and use 8 of the smallest airstones you can find, but i do not anticipate much success... this is roughly 0.9L/min per 15L Res.
You want as much air as you can get to the solution and the roots.
I use one of these with 2 of the airlines going to each of 2x 19L reservoirs, which is roughly 5L/min per 19L Res.
I suggest using one of these and having a 4"x2" airstone connected to each airline. This will be around 8.75L/min per Res.
Even expensive and quiet aquarium pumps are nowhere near the lpm/gph of the one linked above. My laser-cutter's air pump is a 1100 gph one which translates to 70 lpm.
The top-of-the-line, and far quieter, Whisper-300 from Tetra produces about 10 lpm, I have 4 of them on my 600-gallon aquarium... I tried several air-pumps before choosing the Tetra for its quietness (the laser is in the garage, I don't care about the noise. The aquarium is in the living-room wall. I do care about noise there :)
Now, whether you need more than a Whisper-300 can deliver, I don't know. My limited understanding is that the better the air delivery, the better you can do deep cuts, up until the air-delivery is producing a detrimental cooling effect. That's why I went big, and put a valve on it to adjust the pressure.
At the moment, I'm letting the air go full-blast. I'll start characterising the laser when my macken-knock-off power-meter arrives and part of that is going to be air-assist effects.
