Re: need air-pump advice...which to get for my fish room

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at cornell_edu>]

Bob,

Because I have a large fishroom with about 130 tanks of various sizes, up 
to 55 gal, as well as barrels of water for ageing, I bought the largest of 
the linear piston pumps from Jehmco. As I mentioned, I also have a 300 gal 
storage container in my room, which is about 6' tall and the pump pushes 
air to the bottom of it without any problems. I wouldn't use any other kind 
of pump. As others have stated, these pumps are so quiet you virtually 
can't hear them.
