Air pump recommendations plz

[Duzzy]

Hi there, 

 

we are putting in a fish wall maybe 12-20 tanks running matten and or sponge tanks including "The Dean” fry system i’m after a recommendation for a very quiet air pump.  I’m thinking in the vacinity of 7-10 litres per minute per tank.

 

suggestions?

I don't have any recommendations, but I'm thinking that you might mean 7-10 liters per hour not per minute?  

This is the one that Cory recommends:

According to my research a matter filter uses 7-7.5 litres per minute.  Coincidentally I’m getting the bigger model to Cory’s and installing a gauge  with a bleeder valve.

Well it should be able to power a whole fishroom or two!  I wonder if you're seeing water flow rates through an uplift setup?
