3 to 1?

Right now I have 3 airpumps. All 3 are made for 10 gallons. Currently, the pumps are running 3 airstones each.

Is there a pump that could do this by itself? I just want one airpump that can do it all. I'm going to connect all the airlines to this one pump.

What pump can do this? I don't want to buy a pump for 150 gallons if a 60 gallon pump will be enough.

Tanks are 10 gallons

If your pumps only have a single line on each then you can use a gang valve to split 1 line into 3.

I would suggest a Tetra Whisper air pump 40 or 60: . Do you have one of those 3-way or 4-way outlet? I have a whisper a.p. 60 which powers 4 sponge filters and 1 airstone. The power of the airpump will lessen depending on how many out lets is going out(the air will disperse) and how long the airline tubing(how long the air gets to the tank).

Okay, I'll try using at 60 gallon rated pump. And yes, I have a gang valve with all of the necessary outlets.
I really just wanted to neaten up my fish area

Yeah I had the same problem as you U had 2 small pumps that weren't doing the best job since I had a whole bunch of lines going out and the distance.
