DaToo Final Thoughts

"Runs super quiet now."

The rubber bottom feet really help to keep the unit quite and in one place. Seems very well built, does as advertised. I'm not going to knock the product for my own paranoia though. Adjustable air flow settings which is new to me on a air pump but very convenient. If it craps out anytime soon, I'll update the review. I have it running 8 different sponge filters at high rate! Kudo to them for backing up their product.

"Insert T-valve."

I'm sure it would run a much larger bubble stick also. It has one air outlet so i used a spliter& ran a tube to each end of bubbler. I cleaned the sponge and hooked it all back up, hardly any air was coming out. Seems very well built, does as advertised. I have 3 of them on different surfaces. I have to unplug it every time I want to shut it off. Overall seems like a good air pump.

"It is extremely quiet."

Not to mention tank depth, etc becomes a factor. This thing has plenty of power for my needs. I have this in our small aquarium with an LED bubble stone. I had to use valves to reduce the output. The pump works well when there is no defects. The motor was working but air was not moving. I have one running to sponge filters in a tank and it pushing a nice air flow.

"I'm floored!"

I got the bigger size because I used it in my 450 gallon tank and it's perfect. The pump is so powerful that it pushed off the connection tube several times. Hardly noticeable that it is running for an aquarium air pump. I knew I had to try something else. It pumps out enough air to keep millions of air bubbles going in this 200g+ Aquarium! It still works internally, but no air. This thing has plenty of power for my needs.

"It is so clean."

The motor was working but air was not moving. If that is true-then no wonder this is pretty quiet! I have an undergravel filter and a few other accessories that push air too. I honestly wasn't expecting that much of a difference but man was I surprised. I'm not going to knock the product for my own paranoia though. For the money, this air pump cannot be beat. Sometimes stopping all together if the water is full.

"Great air pump."

I couldn't even think to do my work. These work better than any of the others I have tried in my price point. Hardly noticeable that it is running for an aquarium air pump. And there are fixes around all of it. Once, the water in this tank backflowed into the unit. It's the second one of this model I’ve owned. I set up 2 more and still all the control valve are not open 100%.

5. 20 - 60 Gallon Aquarium Air Pump by Aquaculture

AQUA CULTURE First Impressions

"Value for money."

I figured it would give me enough air to power 4 or 5. This runs pretty darn quiet for a high output air pump. Though the 18W model isn't so loud that it can only be used outside. And check the filter often, at least every two- 3 weeks. I just cleaned my 20 tank for the first time in, well too long. Make sure the hose is connected well. The first time I ordered this product, it did not work properly.

"This pump is VERY quiet!"

All the reviews from all the different models are lumped together. 5 Watts, Fusion 700 rated at 6 watts,Whisper 300 rated at 7. If it craps out anytime soon, I'll update the review. It didn't blow air out that line, while it still had a little water in the unit! We can hear the tank bubbles, but nothing noisy from the pumps at all. Its been on 24 hours a day for about 5 days. Larger tank owners won't have my issues.

"I recommend the pump."

Otherwise, I would buy another one. This air pump is quiet and well worth the price the listing is going for. It has one air outlet so i used a spliter& ran a tube to each end of bubbler. The company made it right and took care of me. It could easily run a small fish room. I have two of these running in my kitchen and my living room is right next to it.

"03mpa instead of 0."

The pump is so powerful that it pushed off the connection tube several times. Not to mention tank depth, etc becomes a factor. The pressure isn't as great as I hoped. I cleaned the sponge and hooked it all back up, hardly any air was coming out. For now, I'd say I would gladly buy another. This seems to be a good little pump that really puts out some air! Before the fan, it was to hot to even hold!

"Great air pump."

We can hear the tank bubbles, but nothing noisy from the pumps at all. Not to mention tank depth, etc becomes a factor. And one to the additional accessories for extra oxygen output only.

My 20H tank is in my office, 3 feet away from my desk.

I use this on a 5-way valve for a 75 gallon tank. Buzzing, humming, vibrating- they were driving me nuts! It has one air outlet so i used a spliter& ran a tube to each end of bubbler. I use them in my Tilapia tanks and Koi pond. I put a wire tie Tightly over the tube and barbs and it's perfect. Make sure the hose is connected well. This happened to me with this unit.

Push once for On and hold down for 5 seconds for off. I put a nice little fan next to mine and it now runs much cooler! Highly recommend if you desire HIGH air output on several tubing lines! Super quiet, lots of power and looks super sleek. Larger tank owners won't have my issues. The rubber feet dampen most anything that the sealed pump doesn't cover. I have an undergravel filter and a few other accessories that push air too.

"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.
