Pros and Cons for Pond Air Pump - Laguna Air Pump?

[MKD]

Hi all,


I am thinking to get any air pump for back up just in case my current one decide to go to heaven. I found this on craiglist but not sure it's good or not. Has anyone used this for multiple tanks? will it work for 1x 150G, 1x 120G, 3x 25G, 3x 55G, 1x 20G together? any pros and cons?

That looks like a pump made by Supreme and marketted under the Laguna name. I have a similar pump Supreme AP60. It does my entire fish room of 20 tanks.
You have to check the cfm and psi rating. The ad says 70 litres per minute. Not sure how to convert to cfm. If my memory serves me I think you need 0.5 cfm for your tanks.

Hey Tony,

I think 1 cfm = 29.5 litres per minute, so I think yours could be 2. something cfm which is a fair volume air flow pump.
