Great Air Pump

I use this to power the sponge filters in my 125g and my 40g. It is really powerful and silent. It is in my bedroom and I don't really notice it.
Almost 9 years later

I bought this in 2014 to use in a small pond and it went out after the house I built for it leaked. This pump was on 24/7 outdoors for almost 9 years. I bought another pump from another brand and it went in less than a year so I am buying this one again. Highly recommend
works very well and is reasonably quiet for the output

I'm using this pump in my Deep Water Culture (DWC) setup with (4) 5-gallon buckets. Even cranked up all the way it is reasonably quiet. Quiet enough so that I can't hear it in the adjacent room. I may add some valves to regulate pressure later on, but I'm not sure that's even necessary in my application.

Purchased this air pump for hydroponics 4 years ago and it is still running strong!
Kind of noisy but isolating it helps keep noise down. I attached a hose to the air intake nipple to allow cooler air to the pump.
Get one!

Nice as a starter multi outlet pump

Maybe I am jumping the gun but I really like this pump. I have over 10 tanks and wanted a single unit to run them instead of buying more extension cords and relying on single nano pumps for each tank. This unit is heavy and large. Do not think you can get away with placing it anyway because it's footprint is the size of a large dinner plate and the weight has to be at least 10 pounds.
The strength dial on top turns easy to either side to control the flow and it responds quickly. The outlets are far enough to accommodate a variety of sizes of nozzles or tube connections. It easily fit the "standard" airline tubing size but also the tiny adapter that comes with those tiny nano air tubing that comes with some nano pumps. The rubber feet help to elevate the pump for air circulation around the unit to keep it cool. Keep your pumps cool and out of direct sun.
The downside is that it is loud if you really turn the flow up. I have it connected to six 20 gallon tanks and two 10 gallons and thankfully did not need to worry about the noise - runs perfect without noise. If you need to turn the flow up, there are workarounds to help muffle the noise but that is the tradeoff.
Had I known I would suffer from MTS (Multi Tank Syndrome) I would have gladly started with this multi outlet unit. Less spent on extra extension cords, usb power blocks and nano pumps. Save yourself some frustration and money.
