Questions
I need it to make my sponge filter work. What else do i need?
- We would recommend approximately 6 feet of airline tubing and a check valve to prevent water from backing into the air pump if it is sitting below the tank.
Helpful?
Can I use this in a 2.5 gallon tank?
- Yes, that would be fine but we recommend having a flow valve in place in case it is too powerful.
Helpful?
Just to be clear, this is one of those products that makes bubbles in the water right? Just want to make sure I’m not buying something completely different. I just want a nice bubbler that will entertain my fish!
- Yes, this is an air pump which will create bubbles when connected to an air stone or air ornament. You will need about 6 feet of tubing, depending on where you plan to sit it, a check valve, and an air stone.
Helpful?
Can I use this pump on a tank smaller than a 10-gallon?
- That depends on the size tank you own. You can use a flow valve to restrict the air flow if necessary, but too much restriction creates noise and too much wear and tear on the diaphragms. We would not recommend a tank any smaller than a 5 gallon one.
Helpful?
will this beable to power 2 airstones for 2 seperate 10g tanks i dont want 2 air pumps
- This air pump will not be sufficient for powering two separate aquariums. For more help contact us at PetSupport@spectrumbrands.com.
Helpful?
Does it run on batteries, or just plug in?
- It plugs in
Helpful?
What is the PSI strength/rating of this pump?
- I no longer have the box, but would think if that info were available, it would be on the box. I have a 10 gallon tank and have used this filter for over 5 years and have never had any problem with it, it works great; puts out a lot of air. Just make sure that the sides don't touch anything around it, as it will then vibrate against it and make noise.
Helpful?
Where do I get home to attach
- You need to purchase an air stone and air line tubing to attach to the air pump.
Helpful?
Can I keep this product outside? Is it waterproof?
- No, it is not waterproof and not recommended for anything other than indoor aquarium use.
Helpful?
Is this air pump strong enough to work with a check valve? The one I bought doesnt push air through my check valve in either direction.
- You might have a faulty check valve as any air pump should push air through one without an issue. The check valve does go in one direction only. The other possibility could be the pump is too small for the air stone or bubble wand that you are using.

What type of saltwater fish can I have in a 10 gallon tank
Hi, i have 1 betta and 5 neon Tetras in a 20l aquarium I have them for a while and they now seem to be gasping for air at the top, water is great because I just did a water change 2days ago and I’m doing one right know just to make sure everything is okay, but I don’t know what’s wrong with them..
30 gallon freshwater tank 6 peaceful community fish, planted tank. nitrite0, Ammonia0, nitrates low. ph 7. One molly died quick and sudden. another molly (bloated not pregnant) bottom of tank looked dying. put in salt. She improved. wite tube poop. still swimming bit crooked. one neon tetra swim bladder died. another tetra very bloated. parasites?
We have four cardinal tetras, three glo danios, three glo tetras and a albino Cory cat. They are all the type to only get an inch to two inches long and so we have them in a twenty gallon tank. Have gravel and silk/plastic/resin/and live plant/decor and proper filter/heater/air. Also have changed filter once a month, siphoned 25% water/debris out every two weeks using water conditioner but don't know why we have murky water and how to remedy this...
So I have an established and cycled 10 gallon tank with 1 white male platy and 1 albino Cory catfish, the filter creates a bit of a current and then I have a bubbler to add more of a current, I also have a older maybe 2-3 year old betta who is very chill and I wanted to know I could put him in this tank happily and without fault?
