air

Well I am in the market for a new air pump. I have narrowed it down to two pumps the Jemhco LPH60 which is running my fish room now for 10 years. Its starting to loose amount of air. And second pump would be the Alita AL-60 I've heard good things about these pumps. Piston vs Diaphragm . I'm...

Just a little bit of info about air systems and valving. after a year or more of running these systems there is some involved . There can be some black debris that builds up on the inside of the little valves. My suggestion is to remove the hosing and try inserting a small pin , paper clip ...

My visit to Christine's fish room on Saturday has inspired me to try and get my room in better order. First order of business is to get an air loop system set up. At the end of the day, I will probably have somewhere around 30 outlets coming off the loop. I'm currently running an EcoPlus air...

looking for cheap used air pumps in VA area- Any size is fine as long as they do the job

I have one of these - http://www.jehmco.com/DAPMH15crp-a500p.jpg It runs, I believe, 12-20 outlets (don't have it sitting in front of me right now). I've noticed that if I bend the cord a bit, so there is not a tight seal between where the cord enters the box, the air output into my tanks...

I am totally redoing my breeding/ fry system. As of right now I have a million hang in the tank net breeder boxes that are holding fry until they are big enough for the growout tanks. So many that I now have a bunch of tanks set up just for boxes. I am getting tired of constantly having to take...

As I've mentioned previously, we're going to be moving and I'll be getting a new fishroom. I've been doing a lot of research and have even had the luck to visit a few fishrooms recently. I'm currently running 33 tanks in our house, but will be able to have quite a few more in the new space...

Last night I set up two 30-gallon grow outs on the floor in the fish room (yes, that's how bad it's getting :p). I put two sponge filters in each and outfitted them with the new air stones I got from DrsFosterSmith.com. As soon as I'd done this, many of my other filters stopped working. The...

I definitely want to use one large air pump for my whole fishroom. And yes, this time it is actually happening. :D But anyway, I was looking at the pumps on Kensfish.com, and was wondering how I get the air from the pump into the tanks. Do I have to use PVC, or do they have outlets? If I have to...

What air pumps have worked for you through the years? I am trying to select a good air pump for some sponge filters. Sent from my iPad using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I have a fish that appears to have two air bubbles inside his eye. Totally healthy otherwise. Any ideas? Sent from my SCH-S960L using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

I was wondering if anybody ever turn a marine battery for boat into a power source to run an air pump during power outage.

recently, one of my two tetra whisper 60's making an awful humming noise.. considering buying a new one.. i tried to fix it by opening it and inspecting the vibrating fork/ hammer on the diaphragm..does not seem to rub against each other, and the diaphragm is not cracked either.. it seems to...

for my 125 gallon tank, i got a 72" compact flourescent fixture. the total wattage on it is around 380w of lighting. the fixture came with two small 40mm air fans on one side that pull air thru the fixture. on the other side is two vents of cooresponding size. as you can imagine the fixture...

I would like to build a loop for my fishwall. Does the loop need to be on the horizontal plane, or can it be vertical? My idea is to run the PVC under the top shelf of my unit, down under the second shelf, then back to the top. The upper piece will supply air to 6 or 7 10 gallon tanks. The lower...

Following the basic pattern shown by Ted Judy, I created a closed loop using 3/4" PVC. I chose to glue the pieces although Ted Judy says it is not necessary. For air, I'm using an Alita AL-6A Linea pump. The Alita comes with a screw-in adapter to which I attach a length of 5/8" (inside...

I the biggest noise from my tanks are from my air pumps. I'd like to eliminate them both as sound and power drain. I have a 30 with a HOB that I am confident that I can remove the air from, but I have a 10 with an in-tank filter and a 120 with dual canister filters. I'm wondering how I can tell...

At Matt's suggestion, I am looking into getting a few Hurricane 5 air pumps. I have seen that the original maker has stopped producing them and Deep Blue is now putting them out. I can't find any substantial reviews online and was wondering if any of you (in addition to Matt) are using them. I...

I think I will be getting one of the smaller Alita(AL-6A or AL-15A) air pumps. What size is the output from these pumps? Can you link manifolds or do they only have one large input and terminate at the other end?

So on my fish table (not allowed to have a whole room ;P) I am already running a 20L, a 10, a 5, and 2 jars of BBS hatching. I am looking to add one, maybe 2 more 20L's and maybe 1 more small tank (2.5 - 5). This is causing me to have to have a lot of air pumps all the sudden. I am getting by...
