Rena 400 - How many Hydro V sponges filters?

[muscle]

I need to pick up a few new air pumps to drive my Hydro V sponge filters. My tanks are currently in different rooms, so I'm stuck with diaphragm air pumps for now. For example, in one room I have two tanks, each running two Hydro V's.

Does anyone know if a Rena 400 is powerful enough to run four Hydro V's?

Thanks in advance!

I am running 2 hydor V in my 150g along with my fx5 and 33g sump. I have 2 extra ones but not enough hose to connect them. i'm pretty sure the rena 400 can run atleast 4 with no problems. I'll have to buy more hose and try it for you.

Well got around to buying more hose and some splitters. My 150g is 2 feet deep I am disappointed to say i could only run 3 (2 V and 1 IV). i tried adjusting the flow and it was pretty weak.

cant seem to edit unless I am blind and can't see the edit button.

I used 2 ball valves on each line and it powers 4 hydor 5.
