Air pump

Im thinking of putting an air stone or a bubble wall at the back of my tank. I know I only have a small tank but I like the idea of them!

What pump would people recommend? I want one thats really quiet. Any tips on air stones or bubble walls?

What do people think?

Good morning.

I've moved your thread to the Freshwater Tank Equipment/Air Pumps section of the forum to help you to get more responses.
Thanks!

I've had good luck with Elite aerators. For your tank I would go with an Elite 801.

Whatever you decide if its too noisy just set it on a sponge, or hang it from something with a piece of fishing line..

And don't forget a check valve! $2.00 can save your pump!

I'm a big fan of the whisper pumps. I have a 60,40 and a 10 and they are all quiet. Here's a link http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS...isper10airpump

Six bucks is a great price for it also
x2 for the check valve !!

Agree with the Whisper pump. Mine works great and is very quiet. I would recommend it to anyone.
