Hello All,
Im looking for recommendations for small but capable airpumps that will run 2 hydro 5s in 29 gal tanks. Some of my tanks are scattered around the house off the main pump. I have used the Hagen ? maxima pumps for years but Its hard finding replacement parts. Time for new pumps... must be quiet pumps.
Thanks,
Al
I've been using a whisper AP150 for the past year to push 4 sponges in 3 29 gallons and 1 40 gallon tank. I haven't had any issues and it's dead quiet to me.
I use a few Active Aqua dual outlet air pumps and have no complaints. A touch buzzy on the highest output, but quiet enough on the mid to lower end.
Plus one on the whisper Ap150. Really quiet and a lot of output.
These old maxima are strong pumps but so noisy...of course they are over 12 years old. I literally have to tape foam and wrap them or hang them so the touch nothing.
I will look into the ones you guys mentioned.Thx

Hi Al,
I have a couple of the fluval Q2's. I have had them for a several months now and like them very much. High output and very very quiet. They had good reviews and are reasonble.

i use atman hp-4000 35l/min they write he take 20w but i check and he take 16-18 dont remember now, i have 8 sponge e jet 104 and he can more and yes is quiet
Thanks again guys. I decided to try the whispers. Chose the 60 and 100 as they had 2 outlets. The 60 was dirt cheap at Amazon for $13...the 100 was 19.99
Thats pretty fair prices and they are quiet. More than strong enough too.
