I struggled with individual and all different types of air pumps for years
until I found the one that I really needed. And at a fraction of the cost if
considering buying many small units at $25-30 each.
Go to www.aquaticeco.com and order the Whitewater Linear Air Pump, item#
LT11 for $75 plus shipping. Run PVC pipe along all off your tanks, install
air valves and tubing to the filters, plug it in and forget about it!
I've used them for about 10 years now, and one of these Linear's will run a
BUNCH of tanks, no matter what size.
