AQUANEAT Aquarium Air Pump, 100 Gal Fish Tank Air Pump, Hydroponic Oxygen Aerator with Airline Tubing, Bubbler Stones, Check Valve

2 months of use: Pros: Very quiet. My air purifier on “silent” is louder. Very compact. Takes up very little space; easy to conceal. Very powerful. I’m able to run filters for 2 20 gal tank with this. Cons: Just barely enough airline tubing, and my tanks are right next to each other. You may need to purchase more. This isn’t a huge deal for me, but it’s still something to consider before purchasing. All in all, I’m very happy with this purchase and will probably buy more of these as I accumulate more tanks. If any quality issues arise, I’ll update my review. UPDATE: the air pump still works, but over time the small amount of heat it puts of has fused the airline tubing to the pump. I’ve tried using pliers and everything and I can get the tubing off. Not a huge deal to me because it was so cheap and works quite well. I’ll probably just get another one.

I’m really writing a review to answer a question that I had, but didn’t find the answer to (I needed one too soon to wait for a question response & likely wouldn’t have gotten one that was as helpful as what I’ve learned). I had a hard time finding a well-reviewed one that was strong enough that didn’t have 2 outputs, so I decided to try this one to see what happened, knowing that I could just add a bubble stone to the other output if it wouldn’t work with just one. Well, it will work just fine using only one side, but it is significantly quieter if you use both. I only needed one for my sponge filter and I also have a hang on back filter, so I don’t really *need* the extra flow, but I’ll see how it goes once the tank cycles and I start moving my fish into it. I also learned that the air stone doesn’t appear to be pushing out air at all unless it is underwater, so if it turns out that that is too much water stirring (one of my fish is a betta and they like their water on the still side), I will just take the stone out & put it out-of-sight to keep the pump quiet. And it is indeed pretty quiet when both sides are used. It makes a light humming sound, but I am pretty sensitive to noise & this meets my needs; the sound of the water bubbles bother me more! I can’t speak for its longevity as I just installed it, but it’s a pretty simple machine & seems well made enough. I will change my review if I learn otherwise.

Works great I was skeptical because the reviews but I tried anyways and it works amazing keeps my tank nice and quiet it was easy to install the airflow is great my goldfish love it

I did read in reviews that this pump eventually makes a loud noise for some, and mine started the same day it was plugged in. Here’s what I learned: an external control valve is significantly better than turning the dial on the pump, doing so is what started the rattle. I opened up the pump, turned the build in control valve to fully open, and saw the way that impacted the internal mechanism. Put it back together with the pump on full flow and the noise disappeared and has stayed gone. I will update if the rattle returns and I’m not able to quiet it, but since using an external air flow valve and ignoring the flow dial on the pump, I’ve had no issues. Overall it seems to be a good pump at a good price, I just don’t think it should come with the knob at all because from what I can see, it is the source of the problem.

For the price, it’s pretty good. It’s noisier than I wanted so I had to put it inside my desk where my shrimp tank sits. According to my phone, it’s about 55 decibels. Putting it in my desk reduced the room noise to 45 decibels. It’s nearly the same as my other adjustable dual output air pump on a different tank. The air tube was kinked in many places making it less than ideal if I needed the whole amount. Fortunately I didn’t need much so I had enough usable hose for my purposes. I have two sponge filters for my 10gal shrimp tank and wanted a dedicated line to each filter. Perhaps it’s overkill but I’d rather have too much. The power is good and I like the option to adjust if I want. Overall, I can’t complain too much. At the price point, it’s decent.

This is definitely worth the money if you use this amazing air pump. However, it does come standard with dual outputs, which can be easily remedied, with a Y-connector for the pennies. And, very quite. My fish make more noise. This air pump will make your, Reef Glass Protein Skimmer look like it's on steroids. I originally bought another pump that was highly recommended, however within months it just lost power. With this pump not only does it come with everything needed to really be, 'Plug 'n' Play', for any function. This will be the best bet for your Skimmer. The pump is rated for 100 gallon systems but has a dial to adjust the air flow rate. Just by my rule, I always go over board when it comes to any measurement of flow rates due to the fact that eventually every mechanical device in the aquarium life slows down before it just goes, kaput. The only con is that the electrical cord is really short, about 12 inches. But, still worth every penny.

Worked as it should

I just received this pump and it works GREAT! I love it the pump has great power and is quiet. The air pump is a good value too. I have had a lot of different kinds of pumps and this one is by far the best one! Thanks to seller for a good description on this product.
