I returned this pump because it was loud.....but yes it was pushing allot of air....as far as how many tanks you can run....it depends on depth of your tank and output of the stone you are using.....I have noticed that the charts on the sides of many air pump boxes are not that accurate, and you can usually run a little more on a pump than the chart states....
good luck.......

This models comes in both the single outlet and double. i have used the double before and found it to be a little noisy. Instead I opted to save a few bucks and went with the AP200. It is quiter. I used one to run a 75 gallon on a stand and had no problem whatsoever. The only bad thing that I have heard of the AP200 is that there is a tendency for them to wear out over time. I had mine for about 1 1/2 years and it was still running ok...

If you go to ebay you can pick up and AP200 for about 10.00.
