Best air Pump

[Be_Winn]

What’s up everybody. I’m sure it’s plenty post about the best air pump for a 300 gallon tank. Also running a 100 gallon grow out and possibly a 40 gallon breeder. The 100 gallon and 40 will be ran on sponge filters. Which air pump will work best?

I use different size variations of the Tetra Whisper ... there's nothing amazing about them but they do the job and I've yet to have one fail.

I have had good luck with the Whisper pumps too. Like stillsirpaul said, nothing special but they do seem to last.

Best would be subjective. The real quistion in the end is. How much air Lpm. Will be neeses for what u are teing tobrun and most reliable bidget freindly dor its size. U can get one big one to run them all if in same location would be ideal

my go 2s are alita and pond master both are rebuildable pumps, alita is super quit and the better of the 2 but cost more and rebuild cost more. Pond master cost less is bullet prood pump but load, rebuild kits are very cheap likeb20 bucks forbthe api 40l

Tetra whispers are nice up until 6 months to a year when the diaphragms start to degrade.. I have a box full of them. I've been using a hydor 10watt for a while now seems to hold up well. If you don't mind the noise piston pumps put out a ton of air & are budget friendly but can run super hot at times. Alitas are great but can be a little on the expensive side. As previously said it's all up to what you want it to put out & if noise is a concern.
