Re: [Killietalk] Blowers

Karl,

I have the biggest one Jehmco sells, as I run 150 tanks, incuding some 
55 gal. Mine is the 120 watt model, don't know how many amps. For 100 
tanks you would need at least the 100 watt model. This is the info off 
Jehmco's site:

*Model #LPH100
100 watts
4.3 CFM @ 2 PSI
80-105 outlets**

*$395.0
*

**One of the advantages of these pumps is that they automatically 
throttle themselves down to meet the demand, and bleed off valves are 
not needed and should not be used.
