An air bubbler is often used in fish tanks to provide oxygen to the water. They work by breaking the surface tension of the water and creating bubbles. The bubbles rise to the surface and release the oxygen into the water. Air bubblers are often used in fish tanks because they are an easy and effective way to add oxygen to the water. They are also relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain. However, there are some downsides to using air bubblers in fish tanks. One downside is that air bubblers can create a lot of noise. If you have a peaceful
Yes, an air pump can be too big for a fish tank. If the air pump is too big, it can create too much turbulence in the water and stress the fish out. It can also make it difficult for the fish to breathe.
An air pump is a device used to move air throughout a fish tank. Air pumps can be used to aerate water and create water movement. While air pumps are necessary for some fish tanks, they can be harmful to others. Air pumps can be too strong for fish tanks that are not properly aerated. If an air pump is too strong, it can create too much water movement, which can stress out the fish. In addition, an air pump that is too strong can cause the water in the fish tank to become oxygenated, which can be harmful to the fish.
If you have an air pump for your aquarium and you are wondering if you can turn it off at night, the answer is yes. There is no need to keep the air pump running 24/7 and it is actually beneficial to give the fish a break from the bubbles.

This little air pump has a lot of strength. If you occasionally travel with fish, it's easy to carry, quiet, and provides a variety of mounting choices. More noise is made by the bubbles it produces than by the pump. It is SO silent. This is the ideal little pump for running a sponge filter in a small aquarium, maintaining air flow on a competition show tank, or attaching to a bucket while transporting fish to an auction or show. I have a Cobalt Phantom as well. Comparing the two, I like the mounting choices on this one because the Cobalt will only adhere to a flat surface, while the clip works excellent for a bucket, rounded container, or rimless tank. Compared to the suction cup on my Cobalt Phantom, the suction cup that came with this one also seems to stick better. The air output, cord length, and noise level are comparable, however I think the mounting options make this pump a little more adaptable. Its chord length is the only thing I would change. Given its easily portable size, 4-6 feet would be preferable. It would also be AMAZING to have a USB connection that would enable it to be plugged into a vehicle outlet (cigarette lighter style) for extended excursions.

It is the best value at this price point because it is adjustable and includes air stones, reverse flow valves, and connectors. On low, it is hardly audible; on high, there is a discernible hum in a silent room. With this pump set to "medium," I'm running the filtration in my 15-gallon tank, and it's almost completely silent—much quieter than my old powerhead. Additionally, it includes sound-isolating (pointy) and vibration-dampening (soft rubber) feet. How to quiet it down even *more* is as follows:GET BETTER CAPACITYIf you require quiet, I'll purchase an adjustable pump with double the capacity you require and reduce it to half. The pump will be noisier the harder it has to work. A larger pump running on "low" actually makes less noise than a smaller pump of the same size running on "high" and pumping the same quantity of air.QUADROPE THE HOSEBy doubling the pipe, you can boost airflow on a lower setting. If you only require one hose, you may double the air flow while maintaining medium power and an almost silent setup by connecting the outputs together using the provided "T" connector. Just be sure to use both back flow valves rather than just one after the "T" on each hose, which is where they should be placed.This is due to the fact that every backflow valve is a choke point (i.e. the smallest point through which the air must flow). Two valves improve the quantity of air flowing through your hose overall by reducing resistance. Your pump will operate more quietly the more easily it can move the required volume of air.DISCOVER ITIf you wrap the pump with soundproof material and have followed my recommendation to get an adjustable greater capacity pump, you shouldn't experience any issues with it overheating (i.e. a washcloth). Become as ornate as you like, but watch out that it doesn't get too hot.NOT AT ALLThis device's "hard" parts shouldn't come into contact with any other "hard" things, especially air stones on glass. Any hard object that is pushing air will operate like a "woofer" by projecting vibration as sound if it meets another hard object, especially the glass of the tank.Try this experiment: float an active air stone in the tank's water against the glass, then near to the glass, and finally in the centre. Once it is farther than an inch away from the glass, have you noticed how it swiftly changes from being LOUD to being undetectable? The tank's other components and objects can be tested to see if they also transmit sound using the same method. These items should only have air that is carefully attached using sound-dampening materials, such as rubber or silicone suction cups. The better, the more room.

I've kept aquariums for 45 years, and while these air pumps aren't quite "quiet," they are as quiet as they can be, barring the possibility of installing one in a different room and running the tubing through the wall to the tank. Don't laugh; serious aquarists who enjoy bubbles but can't stand noise often behave in this way. You see, over the years, I've owned almost every popular and reasonably priced air pump, and NOT ONE OF THEM IS "SILENT." Most of them are outright offensive. The quietest course of action is to completely avoid air pumps, but if, like me, you simply cannot live without those lovely bubbles (and, by the way, bubbles are not required in a properly filled and filtered tank), then these Whisper air pumps are the quietest ones currently on the market. Even these, though, require occasional adjustment and repositioning in order to "take the edge off" the noise. This is a simple reality of life for owners of aquarium air pumps.Currently, there are three of these specific pumps running in my home. Over three years old and still going strong are two of them. And I can assure you that they significantly outperform the conventional "box-shaped" air pumps, the majority of which will virtually knock pictures off the wall.I've found that placing any air pump on an old, thick, soft mouse pad will help to further muffle its sound. If you have to cut it to fit the specific space you have, that's okay. I use this to make the quietest inexpensive air pump you can buy even quieter for the Whisper pump in the bedroom.Additionally, the obnoxiously loud pump in the "Do not buy this" video review is seriously broken and needs to be returned right away for a replacement. I believe the likelihood of receiving one like that is quite slim.Good fortune.NEWSFLASH: I just purchased 2 more of these. They perform admirably and produce more air than any other pump you can find for this price range. After several years, all of my other machines are still operating quietly enough. Using too restricted airstones or decorations with any cheap air pump can shorten its lifespan. If it is producing very tiny bubbles, the pump diaphragm is likely under significant pressure, which will significantly reduce the lifespan of the device. I avoid using highly constrictive equipment, so my pumps last for a very long time. I frequently just use an open-ended tube and look for stones that produce larger bubbles. The cheap, colored, plastic stones that screw together are the best ones I have just discovered for this. And make sure to purchase the appropriate pump for your tank's depth. The depth of the water is the main factor considered when choosing a tank because it requires more effort to force air into deeper tanks.

This air pump is unbeatable for the price. I have 5 older, smaller pumps that have been retired since buying this beast since it is incredibly strong and operates at deeper depths than some of the "cheaper" ones on the market. It features two points where tubing can be connected. In my 125-gallon goldfish-only aquarium, four air "devices" are being powered by a split of each of those, which I did. Actually, this is the second one I've bought. About two years into the first, one side chose to reduce air output. I could have called Tetra and bought a kit to repair the worn-out internal parts, but by the time I bought the parts and paid for shipping, the price was half that of a brand-new one. I'll just leave the old one around in case I need any parts.For an air pump with a high output, this operates quite quietly. My tank is in my main living room, which is also where the family gathers to watch TV, and it is in no way distracting. I do have it on a special shelf that is mounted to the wall, and it rests on a towel that has been folded up to dampen any vibrations.If you want HIGH air output on numerous tubing lines, I highly recommend it!

Avoid purchasing the Whisper 10! The 20 works just as well and costs a little less than the 40, which also works well. With the little valve that comes with the pump, you can change the airflow. I've owned five tanks for more than eight years, and they're all powered by whisper pumps. I use a little bit more pump than what is recommended for the same tank size when I utilize air filters. Two 10s, two 20s, and five 40 whisper pumps were purchased by me. I have tanks that are 5, 10, 20, and 30 gallons. I now use a 20 for my 10 gallon tank and a 40 for my 20 and 30 gallon tanks. The 10 was essentially worthless because it could not provide enough current to filter the water in either of my 5 or 10 gallon tanks. One of the 1940s was producing noise, but I was able to stop it by opening the pump (unscrewing the bottom) and tightening the nut anchoring the stack of metal plates close to the power chord. The Whisper pumps are quieter than other manufacturers at the same price point, and I've had really good luck with them.

According to the product, 10 gallons are the suggested usage for this air pump. If anyone is asking if the tank size can be a little bigger and the air pump still look amazing, the answer is yes! I have mine set up in a 16 gallon and it does fantastically!My two baby guppies and my GloFish Tetras had a blast when I first turned on my air pump today. They had a lot of curiosity! This air pump is incredibly quiet, and the sound of bubbles bursting on water's surface is soothing. Totally 5 stars!Update (7/27/18): After roughly 7 months, the air pump quit functioning. Since a $8 product that works for 7 months is still giving me value for my money, it isn't even worth taking away stars. I recently purchased a new one, and it is fantastic! The product video has also been updated. I adore this bubbler!

For everyone who owns this pump and complains that it is noisy, you are absolutely correct. Here is how to solve it quickly and easily: Take out the four screws from the bottom side and remove the cover as shown in the image and video. This will make the two diaphragm visible. Two arms connecting to the diaphragms are visible. One or both of the magnets at the tips of those arms are striking the reversed polarity magnet and creating that noise. To allow it to cycle back and forth, all you need to do is grab a small screwdriver and gently bend that arm toward the diaphragm.
Air pumps are devices that are used to move air from one place to another. They are often used to add oxygen to water. The air that is pumped into the water helps to aerate it and this can improve the quality of the water.
Air pumps are a necessary part of fish keeping, as they provide oxygen to the water. However, some fish are sensitive to the noise and vibration of air pumps, and this can cause stress. If you notice your fish acting differently after you install an air pump, try moving it to a different location or using a quieter model.
While air stones can help with aeration, they will not have an effect on ammonia levels. Ammonia is a compound that is released when organic matter breaks down and it is toxic to fish. If you suspect that your fish are suffering from ammonia poisoning, you should test the water and take steps to remove the ammonia from the water.
Air pumps are often used in aquariums to provide oxygen to the water and to the fish. However, some people believe that air pumps can disturb fish. There is no definitive answer to this question, as it depends on the fish and the aquarium setup. Some fish may be disturbed by the noise of an air pump, while others may not mind it. It is generally best to experiment with an air pump and see how your fish react. If they seem stressed or uncomfortable, you may want to consider removing the air pump from the aquarium.
You will need to determine the size of your aquarium in order to know how big of an air pump to get. The general rule of thumb is that you need 1 liter per minute of air for every gallon of water in your aquarium.
