gabdewulf Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Hey Here's the idea, I'm not ready to purchase a big air piston pump and have multiple little pumps. Could I go ahead and setup the pipe with just the little pumps to aerate the sponges. Theoretically, the little pumps should provide enough pressure in comparsion to the big pumps, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I am not sure that this will work. If you try to add together all of the smaller pumps, the line will build up back pressure, and the little pumps may not be able to push through it. The weakest pump may struggle. Maybe if you establish good outflow from the beginning it could work? How many tanks are you aerating? I use a PondMaster-20 for all of my fishroom tanks.

gabdewulf Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 I have 4 40s, 2 75s, a 20 long, and 10. About to add 3 more 20 long and maybe 2 60s if they go back on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
