Thomas make good quality pumps. I've used them for many years but not familiar with this model.

Excellent diaphragm pump for small to medium fish rooms. I have used the Hi Blow-20 for a number of years and it powers 26 outlets from 10 inch to 24 inch deep aquariums. I don't however use diffuser stones just air lifts (sponge filters etc.). See pics:

The pump is connected to a 'ring main' constructed using1 inch diameter plastic pipe. A 'T' piece is attached to the front of the pump so that equal air pressure is supplied to both sides of the fish room.

Here is a link for more information (sorry it's a UK site)

Just uploaded a short video to photobucket (Youtube is blocked in China). It shows my small fish room (approx 8' x 8') with the Hi Blow pump working. The Discus in the tanks were some sick Discus I was fostering and treating for a friend while he was on a long vacation. You can hear how powerful the bubbles are in the clip:

Thanks Tommo, I was able to view video just took awhile.
Your pump looks like the same one as the photo I posted.
I'm trying to score one on e-bay so just checking what my price limit should be from people who have used them before.
