    Default Large air pump recomendations?

    Hey guys,

    I am starting to use air stones again, and decided its time to upgrade my old ancient pumps.

    I am going to need to power at least 10 air stones for the setup i want, The depth in the tanks ranging from 12" 10 24". So its fair to say the ones commonly sold around here are out of the question.

    I need something that is quiet too.

    Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm guessing a product like this will cost around $150. I don't like the idea of ordering from an American company because i get dinged with $40.00 shipping charges.

    Thanks!

    You just missed on the Pump 40 that went for $80 !

    I have a old metal body pump 20 which ran for 12 years straight - except for power out.

    Those are great prices for sure Grant. I paid close to $300 for Pump 20.

    Alex, i love "The pump". I still have the 40 model and I believe Pat is running the 60 or 80 model. They are great, lots of power and build like a tank. If you can find one, get it.

    If not, any copy one will do. I think I paid my 60 model for $170.
