I want to get a pump that I can hard pipe around my fish room (in progress) and tap valves into, initially I will be using probably 40 sponges on various sized tanks, looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance
Air pump for fish room

I copied and pasted this response from another topic but it should still be helpful for some ideas to get started.
When choosing a central air pump for your fish room, it's helpful to know the height of the tanks. Taller tanks require more air pressure to operate. If you have a good idea of the number and height of the tanks you will be running, I suggest you contact Jehmco for advice. John from Jehmco was extremely helpful to me when setting up my mini fish room and recommended the appropriate air pump.
Is your new fish room already wired for electric outlets?
Are you planning on heating the tanks individually or just heating the room?
There are a few good threads on the forum for fish rooms so if you haven't searched for them, they can be good reads. Check out http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/pharaohs-new-fish-room-build.526077/
