Need a good air pump for sponges

[Mythic Figment]

I need advice on what would be a good air pump for 10 sponge filters (6 Hydro II and 4 Hydro III). These filters will be spread out over two 40 breeders and three 20 highs. The pump also needs to cost less than $50 (and if I can get it on Amazon, its a bonus since I have Prime membership).

Thoughts?

I can be stretched a bit further than $50, but its the goal I am shooting for.

I've always liked the Tetra Whisper series.

I was looking into buying a Tetra AP300, but I need 10 lines and it only has 2 ports. I was reading that it has trouble with more than 3-4 lines. How many lines have you used on your Tetra?

I haven't heard that but I don't have any experience to dispute the claim as I only have 2 lines coming out. I was thinking of you got 2 and ran then into a junction you could run 5 of your sponges on each pump.

My only worry about this is that I can't find any info on the pumps gph (or European L/m) or the pressure. That sort of thing makes me nervous about buying this pump and it not working.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
