I want to know how noisy they are and how grunty they are. Its a bit hard to know without hearing one, and feeling the output. Im wanting an air pump that will comfortably run 10 or so airstones

Cheers

Hailea is usually pretty crappy i think. The Waikato aquarium soc had a large hailea air pump to use at the fish show, but it was way too noisy and they had to get another one. Trying to steer clear of them, but i dont think the two i linked would be much better..... Mind you, you should hear the amount of noise the air pumps in my room at the moment make. 3 medium sized pumps to power my killie tanks, brine shrimp hatcherys and water ageing barrel is not quiet, but i still sleep well :D I just need more air!

what ever you do, if you can make sure that the air can be controlled on the compressor.

The compressor I have has no control and I have to "bleed" of the excess air.

Its a curse and the end result is thats where most the noise comes from.

I will change it at some stage in the future
