RE: Air pump recommendation ...?
Hi Alberto,
You could go for the Dynamaster 2 which is a great pump, I have 2 in
storage. They are very reliable and can be rebuilt about every two years or
so. They are also rather loud. They draw from .45 amps to .65 amps depending
on which motor they had on hand the day they made it. Or you could use two
to three good quality, larger vibrator pumps at about 3 to 6 watts each.
They can also be rebuilt and will save you a great deal of money in
electricity. If electricity and noise are a concern to you go vibrator if
not go for the Dynamaster. You might want to pick up spare air filters,
drive belts, pump oil and pistons so you have them on hand. When I ran them
I kept a rebuilt pump in stock so that I could just swap them and rebuild at
my leisure.
Best regards,
~RJ~

Subject: Air pump recommendation ...?
Unlike some of you who tend to dozens or hundreds of tanks, I only
have 10-to-15 tanks (most of them between 5 and 10 gallons). I'm
looking for a pump that can supply enough air to run airstones (for
corner filters, foam filters, and for general aeration) in all these
tanks. Given the size of my 'operation', can anybody recommend a
pump? Pros and cons? BTW, I was looking at the Dynamaster #2. Is
that a good choice? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

PS. I have followed some of the discussions on this topic in the
past, but, as I recall, a lot of them focused on air blowers capable
of running hundreds of outlets ... way more (capacity and expense)
than I need.
