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.

Help! The submersible pump on my 3.7 gallon is making loud motor sounds and spitting out small bubbles that by morning cover the whole top of the tank. I’m scared for my fishes life what should I do?
My gold fish is floating around like a ballon, not moving it’s fins and floating upside down and staying next to air pump.
If I have a 1-gallon tank for 1 betta fish how long do I keep my filter on? My filter is GPH is adjustable.
Is hydrogen peroxide safe to use on aquarium fish
What type of saltwater fish can I have in a 10 gallon tank
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?
Please help!! I have a 5 gallon fish tank starter kit. Water conditioner. Thermometer. And it has a filter. I have bought 3 gold fish all from Walmart. (I know bad idea) and all have died 1 first day. 2nd one the next day. And the third is dying currently :( they swim by the filter and float then have a hard time breathing it looks like and then die. My autistic 5 yr old is devistaed and I don't know what I could be doing wrong. I did research and research and more research!! Help:(
My Goldfish are usually happy cause they have a 120 gallon tank I have 10 Goldfish and they seem scared of something like they swim to one corner wait a bit then swim as fast as they can to the other I mean it’s raining but my White. Loads and Guppies are fine PLEASE HELP
My betta fish is always at the top “gasping for air” but other than that she’s perfectly fine, should I be worried?
We recently bought a Betta from a chain store pet shop. He is currently in a 10 gallon tank with a heater. He’s been eating and swimming around, acting fine. The first day we had him I noticed this bump. (Didn’t notice in the petstore but hard to see in those cups they keep them in) Here’s a side shot. Looks like one tiny fluid filled bump, size of a scale. Any ideas?
hello new to the hobby started a 75 gallon tank have now 12 tetras in my tank i am at 6 weeks today my question is if and when should i change my filters on my filter google it first and seen some comments that said never unless the filters start to break apart
Hey! I have a empty 5.5 and I planned on getting a baby betta the brand is Topfin. and I was just curious about the filter on it and if you think it would be to tough and blow the betta around or suck it into the filter. I also heard that Smaller Bettas are recommended live food but I don’t know how to raise anything like vinegar eels, microworms, etc.
