George, I'm using a HiBlow 40GJL-F on and off for the past 13 years and
it's reliable, with a diaphram change a few years back.  It doesn't
specify outlet capacity but it's rated at 5.2psi (50Hz) and was at a
time, driving UGFs in about 30 tanks, with room to spare.

The GJL has been replaced by the HP series which I'm not familiar with,
but the following sites might provide more details.

I believe the HiBlow is resold in the USA as Gast Linear Pumps
(SPP-40GJL)

When you've that many tanks to drive, PVC air manifolds will appear
neatest instead of tubes dangling all over.  Just my 0.02cents.
