 Expensive but worth it if you require power and versatility Nov 03, 2009
By Circusmonkey
What I like about this pump:
Not too loud. I currently have the pump running some sponge filters in my bedroom tanks. My wife and I haven't had any difficulties sleeping.
Solid Construction:
I took my pump apart and had a look at what was inside. The design is simple and made with solid components that are built to last. The casing is of durable and thick plastic. The diaphragm will unavoidably wear out but instead of throwing away the whole pump like you would with cheaper units you can buy a replacement diaphragm (that includes 1 or 2 air filters). I've had my pump for about two years and am confident that it will last many many more years to come (provided that I replace the diaphragm and air filter as needed).
Adjustable rheostat:
The rheostat adjusts the output of air by controlling the amount of electricity that powers the pump as opposed to using an inline valve on the air hose. The use of a rheostat conserves electrictiy and avoids putting unnecessary strain on the diaphragm and the premature failure that would result.
Versatility:
With 7.0 PSI I've been able to make a variety of different set ups that otherwise would have required at least 3 lesser pumps. Having one pump instead of several reduces a clutter of hoses.
Overall I'm very happy with this pump. I wish it wasn't so expensive. But then again, when you look at the long term, it's not too expensive.
 coralife luft air pump Feb 03, 2012
By jason
The pump is not as quiet as most lower quality air pumps, and it vibrates quite a bit, but it does the trick for my homemade counter-current skimmer which is more than 4ft tall. there is an airstone at the bottom of the skimmer which is fed by the airtube that snakes down the length of the skimmer through the center of the bubble chamber. if that doesn't say that this is a quality pump i don't know what does. It's been running great for over a month, and i'm sure i'll get plenty of life out of it since the diaphram is replaceable and easy to replace at that. there are repair kits readily available for it all over the internet. i know there's pumps out there that could probly push more air, but this one is satisfactory especially since i paid $60 for it. i also enjoy the adjustable airflow, which doesn't cap the airflow like some pumps, it actually has a variable resistor that changes the flow of power to the pump magnets which produces more or less p.s.i. sweet...
 Noisy and doesn't move enough air!! Aug 15, 2011
By T. Miller
This was so noisy, that after making a video of it compared to the Tetra Wisper 60, and the Rena 400, I returned it. It also didn't move as much air as the other two pumps. Which pump (much to my surprise) was the quietest? The inexpensive Tetra Whisper 60.
I have a 70 gallon tank with a 43" Marine Land bubble stick burried at the very buttom under about 1-1/2" of gravel/rock.
You can watch all 3 of my noise comparison videos on youtube. They are listed by the name of the pump, or just look up my user name.
