Advise on air pump

[doubleace]

Hi Guys

I wanted to setup atleast 4 1ft tanks for apisto and decided to use big air pump for the tanks. If in future need to add more tanks can add some more tube to the other tanks.

The problem is which type of pump should i buy?

- Hiblow
- Ranger 90000
- normal type of pump with many outlets

Thanks

I cant help here because I do not have the experience. Speak to Genes, his setup has more than 4, I think.

Is this going to be a planted tank or just a bare tank?

I'm using the 8 outlet resun airpump. Hiblow is too noisy because my tanks are in my room.

I spoken to him already.. He say use those normal type with many outlets can already. But like to hear from other bros too. Wanted to get a pump that can last long. Because i scare some pump when use for very long already will reduce the power. I got 1 air pump (1 outlet) and the power had reduce since used already for 2 years.

Normal apisto tank. Only 1 low tech plant on DW like fern or nana.

Bro you use before ranger 90000? Is a AC/DC pump that people use for aros tank.

Then I think this will have better response in the Equipments section.

Normal air pump with many outlets are useful for connections to future tanks, so there is no need to use different air pumps for different tanks.

Thanks bro for helping me to move to the equipment section.

Ya. Thats why looking for an air pump that support more tanks. No need to waste to buy a pump/caninster for each tank.

Never used the ranger 90000 before. But i would recommand those hiblow type pumps if noise is not a concern for you.

hi, i'm currently using a resun pump, it has 4 output valves and allows you to adjust the output strength. it's really quiet that's for sure. the wattage is 12W as stated on the pump.


*but one thing i observed is the strength might be reduced and i wonder if the parts inside could be easily replaced. (anyone advice)
