FlyingFishKeeper Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Hi, I just noticed my silicone suffering from a lack of oxygen! Due to this I've decided to get an airstone. Now, I know the USB Nano Airpump works, however the more power the better right? That's why I'm hoping to get the "SpaceX Merlin 1D" rocket engine, yes I know that it isn't technically an air pump, but it still produces thrust. I would be planning on using the sea level variant, with a smaller nozzle, which according to SpaceX produces 7,607kn or thrust, or 1,710,000 lbf of force. My question is will be enough air being pushed through the air stone? Secondly will the exhaust from the fuel of liquid oxygen and what is very refined jet fuel be detrimental to the health of the tanks inhabitants? Thanks! APRIL FOOLS!!

Dwayne Brown Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The nano airpump provides more than enough air for an airstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenA Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Hmm, I think it is a bit too much as it might send your fish into orbit. You might want to consider the General Electric J79-GE-17 instead. Edited April 1, 2021 by BenA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne Brown Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Haha @quirkylemon103 I literaly thought you were serious lol. I actually had someone new to the hobby ask me if a commercial tire inflator would be okay for their sponge filter. I thought they were joking until I saw their aquarium with a tire inflator running a sponge filter 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
