Subject: Problems in air pump land

Hello everyone,     Heres my problem,perhaps you can offer a solution. I have
a large fishroom with between 50 and 80 tanks.For at least 15 years ,I have
used a air compessor made by Thomas Industries for my source of air for my
tanks,as of last night it decided to go to the great mechanical home in the
sky.My system uses 3/4 in pvc with brass valves and saddles ,like many pet
store set ups. Now I need a new compessor,I tried repairing it last night and
that didn't work.The old comp. may be able to be rebuilt as a backup,perhaps
by Thomas which was located in Sheboygan ,Wisc.  The problem is that the fish
have no air now ,and I d like to prevent losses so expidiency in obtaining a
new one with a similar capacity is very important. I looked at petwhse .com
,but they don't give any specs on the number of tanks that can be run off of
a particular blower or air comp.! ! ,nor do the say whether this unit is
compatible with 3/4 in pipe.  I need something within the week just for my
sanity and the fishes well being.The lack of bubble noise is driving me
crazy,its been in my home or my parents for over 20 years..........Help Cecil
Help......Thanks for any help in advance.....Kurt E. Bihlmayer
