"Great product."

I have two of these running in my kitchen and my living room is right next to it. In fact I can hear the bubbles from the water more than the pump itself. The first time I ordered this product, it did not work properly. A white tail deer can hear a whisper 75 yards away! I'd say this pump would be loud if it were used in the same room as you. I really am impressed with this air pump! 5 Watts, Fusion 700 rated at 6 watts,Whisper 300 rated at 7.

AquaTop AC-DC-One Final Thoughts

"I measured about 1."

Great Product, BUT, its noisy and vibrates like mad on its rubber feet. The first lasted about two years when one side decided to put out less air. Seems very well built, does as advertised. I honestly wasn't expecting that much of a difference but man was I surprised. So I run two of these with gang valves on my 55 gallon tall living room tank. Just bought and started using it a few days ago. You MUST use a fan with this pump or it will def burn out or lose pressure.

"The dial never turns off."

I have it running 8 different sponge filters at high rate! Not to mention tank depth, etc becomes a factor. Works well in my 75 gal tank running a 36 inch bubble stick! The motor was working but air was not moving. I have it running on 55g with 2 sponge filters for my Axolotl tank. Ordered this air pump to replace one of my other pumps and the difference is amazing. So I completely disassembled the sponge holder.

"Let's talk about it."

I put a nice little fan next to mine and it now runs much cooler! This is actually the second one I have purchased. I was wrong it has enough power to run all 9 with air to spare. Use large Air Stone Bars for giant columns of air bubbles. I have to put my head behind the tank to hear it! I did notice that it tends to run very loudly and hot. I have it running 8 different sponge filters at high rate!

"Stay Green!"

This pump cost a bit more than the small quite ones but is way more powerful. I hung it so its not touching anything. Its been on 24 hours a day for about 5 days. Just bought and started using it a few days ago. Don't be startled if you test it without oxygen tubes, It is Very noisy! I own Whisper 10, 150, 300, Eheim 400, and Fusion 700. Before the fan, it was to hot to even hold!

"Super quiet!"

For a solid working, quiet pump, this is about as good as it gets. 5 Watts, Fusion 700 rated at 6 watts,Whisper 300 rated at 7. I had to use valves to reduce the output. Super quiet, lots of power and looks super sleek. And there are fixes around all of it. Larger tank owners won't have my issues. The company made it right and took care of me.

"Stay Green!"

Ordered this air pump to replace one of my other pumps and the difference is amazing. I'd say this pump would be loud if it were used in the same room as you. The current from the bubble wand is softer but its still a current. This air pump is quiet and well worth the price the listing is going for. I like these, great deal for the price. I have 3 of them on different surfaces. I use this on a 5-way valve for a 75 gallon tank.

AquaTop AP-30 Final Thoughts

"This one WORKS!"

Colbert, the reviewer above, for explaining how to do this. A simple piece of foam under the unit solved that. It's the second one of this model I’ve owned. They don't even vibrate the old school plastic tank hanger mounts they sit on. For the money, this air pump cannot be beat. It's the second one of this model I’ve owned. They generate a TON of air and last a long long time.

"I measured about 1."

One of the best pump design I've own. It pumps out enough air to keep millions of air bubbles going in this 200g+ Aquarium! The air being pumped out can be quite warm as well. Use large Air Stone Bars for giant columns of air bubbles. They don't even vibrate the old school plastic tank hanger mounts they sit on. You'd think this thing would stop working, but it didn’t! Works well in my 75 gal tank running a 36 inch bubble stick!

"It is extremely quiet."

Use large Air Stone Bars for giant columns of air bubbles. I'll definitely get a few more for my other tanks. I was currently using 2 Whispers and they were anything but whispering. I added a check valve to my airline tubing and works as expected. I use this on a 5-way valve for a 75 gallon tank. I knew I had to try something else. You MUST use a fan with this pump or it will def burn out or lose pressure.

"I hope this helps anyone."

One of the best pump design I've own. The reviews sold me on this product but I was still skeptical​. And there are fixes around all of it. I'm sure it would run a much larger bubble stick also.

We can hear the tank bubbles, but nothing noisy from the pumps at all. I own Whisper 10, 150, 300, Eheim 400, and Fusion 700. The stone is very heavy, so it is easy to position and stays put where you want it. I put a nice little fan next to mine and it now runs much cooler! Just bought and started using it a few days ago.

"It's easy to set up."

I couldn't even think to do my work. Overall seems like a good air pump. It has one air outlet so i used a spliter& ran a tube to each end of bubbler. Sometimes stopping all together if the water is full. For now, I'd say I would gladly buy another. I'm using it for small start-up hydroponic system. So I completely disassembled the sponge holder.

"With the windows closed."

A simple piece of foam under the unit solved that. I was wrong it has enough power to run all 9 with air to spare. The pump is so powerful that it pushed off the connection tube several times. Adjustable air flow settings which is new to me on a air pump but very convenient. I keep the pump and air valves in the box to lessen the noise. One of the best pump design I've own. I have it running on 55g with 2 sponge filters for my Axolotl tank.

Don't be startled if you test it without oxygen tubes, It is Very noisy! Save some money by not having to replace your air pumps every year! The stone is very heavy, so it is easy to position and stays put where you want it. It could easily run a small fish room. However Once you plug it to the Oxy tubes it is Silent! They generate a TON of air and last a long long time. Before the fan, it was to hot to even hold!
