    How do we select an aeration pump??
    Below are examples on what specification of pumps online supplier provide

    ELECTRICAL MAGNETIC AIR COMPRESSOR
    Model: ACO-308
    Power: 20W
    Voltage: 110-120/220-240V
    Frequency: 50/60Hz
    Pressure: >0.018Mpa
    Output: 45L/min
    Noise: <60dB
    Weight: 1.2kg
    Size: 159×90×95mm

    DC Compressor
    Model: ACO-006D
    Power: 35W

    Pressure: >0.08Mpa

    what do we look for in the pump? is it the power,pressure,output,what kind of diffuser will be used,how many as well,etc....if possible please give detailed explanation as it would be helpful for my understanding and other who read this as well.

    Tank size to be 96"x36"x36"

    My top 2 considerations would be power consumption (per unit output) and noise level.
