external air pump
« on: April 19, 2017, 09:42:05 AM »
Question for all that have a fish room. I've seen them but for the life of me i can't remember the name them. What type of external pump do you guys and gales use to run all your tanks. As well what one have you found to be the quietest that you have used over the years. Thanks have a blessed day everyone.

Jehmco and Alita make good fish room air pumps.

I have brand new Medo LA-45B for sale $150.00, it has never been used as I upsized my fishroom and bought larger model.

It will run about 30 drops.  Less if you are running air stones.

I use both Alita and Medo. Alita is quite quiet but both pumps ate solid.
