m0oks Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Guys could you help me out on what size airpump i should get for 3 4'18"18"? Like litres per minute? I'll be running it for my breeding tank and will be using 2 sponge filters on each tank. Much appreciated.Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 If you work to the 1 LPM per airstone rule then you could get away with a pump the has a output somewhere around 360 liters per hour. I would up it to somewhere near 600LPH and play it safe. You may decide you will need to have floaties in the tanks later on and will need to account for that extra air with the pump you get now.
