Questions
I have a 20 gallon standard tank can I use the tetra 60 air pump to run a under gravel filter a diffuser and a bubble stone. I want a pump with two outlets. I know I can use airflow control valves but don't want to restrict the pump too much. Thank you.
- We would not recommend going any larger than a Whisper 40 unless the bubble stone is the length of the tank. If your application is too small, you will damage the diaphragms prematurely in the air pump.

Can I use this for two separate tanks one a 20 and the other a 10 I know I can use the little black t shape parts to control the flow of the air. But can I use the 60?
- It may be more pump than you need, but that depends on how far away the tanks are from each other. This pump has two ports on it. If you have more than two items to run, use quality tees and manifolds.
Helpful?
This unit vibrates alot and I cannot figure out how to stop it. Its on a solid surface and I put a napkin under it. It will do it for no reason?
- Thank you for your question. We would recommend you email our team at petsupport@spectrumbrands.com for some troubleshooting help with this product. Make sure it is not restricted too much. This can occur for example, if you are using a small air stone in a small tank and the air is not able to be be released as rapidly as necessary. Back pressure will occur and cause the air pump to vibrate.

Can I use this air pump 20 in my aquarium tank for 10 gallons
- Yes, depending on what you want to run it with - small air stone vs. bubble wand for example. Sponge filter? Ornament? If the item is kind of small you may need a valve to reduce the flow some what.

okay to use a more powerful pump in a smaller tank? I have a 20 gallon tank and don't want to lose power. Also, is there such a thing as adding to much air.. Will a few airline stones bubbler accessories potentially harm 12 guppies Molly,shrimp,snail?
- Also, if you water is a whitish color you could be adding too much air to your tank.
Helpful?
Does the 60-gallon model have 2 air outlets?
- Yes, it sure does!
Helpful?
I am considering using this in a homemade filtration system for my turtle tank. Would it be advisable since my turtles have killed the last two systems made for turtle tanks?
- Filter systems stop filtering because they become clogged with sludge, algae, hard water deposits, etc. Turtles produce a lot of waste so this means you need to take filter systems apart more frequently and clean them, but turtles don't damage filter systems, typically. This is an air pump, not a filter, and will not be suitable for a turtle tank. You need a large canister filter like the Magniflow 360 if you have a 55-60 gallon turtle tank. Also, the tank should be at least 3/4 of the way filled to provide ample swimming room for an adult turtle. This will allow the canister filter to work really well at keeping the tank clean.
Helpful?
Does the pump come with air tubing?
- No, it did not. I replaced a very loud pump so I already had tubing.
Helpful?
Is Model 100 you sell #77850 or #77855
- Thank you. The Whisper Air Pumps, our model 100 has manufacturers item number 77855.
Helpful?
I want to run 3 sponge filters on this, what model do I need?
- I use the model 20 for a ten gallon, two 3 gallons, and a jar and I still have to baffle it with control valves for my betta.

I was having 6 fishes in which 2 were small silver gold fishes,2 Angle fishes and 2 gold fishes. The both silver gold fishes died as well as one angle fish. I don't know why they all keep dying as I have provided them with good water, filter,and food.
I just cleaned my Betta fishes tank I put the same stuff as usual and a couple hours later he started just sitting at the bottom of the tank with his fins clamped together and now he's just sitting at the top and like vibrating his fins then clamping them shut again and I've noticed he lost a lot of his color
I have a question about our betta fish. He seems to be hanging at the top of the tank, not moving much. We have a heater and the tank is at the right temp. He only started doing this the last couple of days. He isn't really eating or moving around. Just sitting high up at the top of the tank.
I have a fancy bearded dragon that is almost one now. When I first purchased him we got a 10 gal tank and he seems to be getting bigger. Do you think if I purchase a 40 gal tank he’ll be set for a year or two? Thank you.
