You cannot beat the Jehmco and Alita air pumps for being quiet and providing excellence performance

I do not know how much air you need but "Whisper AP150" is very quiet. I have one in my bedroom. Costs about $38 .It puts out too much air for 2 airstones in a 29 gal. so I bleed air off with a "Gang Valve" and a piece of tubing with an airstone in the air. It came from KensFish, an SD sponsor and it was cheap. I also have an AP300 for my 150 gal tank with two outputs .One output also goes into an airstone in the air or there is too much noise from the air coming out. I only use one. This pump was more than I needed. It cost about $62,. NOTE: Kensfish $75 order and no shipping. Check them out on line. Worst comes to worst you can buy fish food cheap. I suggest the 4 1/2 pound (Approximate) TetraMin flakes. My Discus love it and that size msakes it very cheap.

Sorry I guess that would have helped lol! I just have one 55 gallon, so I certainly don't need super power.
